This website is co-ordinated by organisations concerned about the market-distorting power of the major supermarkets. The information is intended for educational and public awareness purposes. The co-ordinating organisations  do so in their individual capacities and only in relation to their own particular areas of expertise, and are not responsible for materials produced and actions taken by other organisations.
The book " Tescopoly" by Andrew Simms has been written and published independently and is not endorsed by the Tescopoly Alliance. It should not be mistaken as an official publication of the Tescopoly Alliance and campaign.

If there has been a planning application, the main thing you can do is oppose it through the planning process. Though many planning applications for supermarkets are approved, there are strong rules that local Councils have to follow before it can allow a development to take place. There are also a significant number of applications that are refused. Local residents and traders, making strong planning objections, can and do have an influence on the process.

This section contains resources to help you oppose supermarket developments in your area.
