Welcome

We are Newport Pagnell residents concerned about Tesco's proposed new 15,000 to 20,000 sq ft Superstore on the old Aston Martin site.

Tesco has submitted a planning application to Milton Keynes Council for the erection of a store of 15000 square feet with possible expansion to 20000 sq ft. This is almost the size of the Waitrose store (21000 sq ft) in Milton Keynes city centre. It is to be located about 500 metres from the town’s High Street on the Aston Martin Lagonda site, Tickford Street.

This proposed store will have a detrimental effect on Newport Pagnell High Street and the local area.

There was a procession in protest at the proposed development on Saturday 9th May. MK News has a piece on the procession, including video, here. RonL has uploaded a video to YouTube, here.

Click any photo to go to the main album for the event.

More photos of the event can be seen by clicking here and then on the links at the bottom of the page. More pages will be added as time permits.

If you took any photos or videos of the procession and you'd like to see them on the site, or if you'd like us to link to them on the web, please get in touch.

The Information area of the site includes documents you can download (details of the planning application, local planning policy documents, posters, etc.), a help section, and information on how you can object to the proposal.

Please note: Although there are several public areas, you won't be able to view or take part in the discussions unless you have an account. Getting an account is easy - just use the Create new account link at the left hand side of the screen.

You will be asked to choose a user name, which will be displayed to other members in your posts and messages as well as on your profile. You are free to create an account with any name you like, however experience teaches us that it is simpler if you sign up with your real name rather than a "screen name". You will find this particularly helpful should you apply for access to one of the private areas of the site - you will be more likely to be admitted if the administrator knows who you are.
