The Stokes Croft Tesco is due to open in one week, on Friday 15th April. Let's all get down there and give them a big Bristol-style welcome. One thing the UK Uncut protests have shown is it only takes a small handful of people to close a shop for health and safety. And that's just one idea

NO TESCO STATEMENT: Roll up roll up! Tesco is set to open at 138-142 Cheltenham road on FRIDAY 15 APRIL ... I'm sure you'll all chomping at the bit to show them your own personal welcome ... be sure to pop by and express how you feel about them ignoring all of our peaceful protests and painstaking navigation of the planning system. (But be lovely to the staff as it's really not their fault!).

We're not organising a protest because to be honest, we're pooped and excited to be leaving the fight behind and instead ploughing our energy into supporting positive alternatives to the supermarket model. But of course who knows what other groups in the community have planned ...

WHAT NOW? BOYCOTT TESCO.

It's not enough to complain about the supermarkets. They only exist because people shop in them. Make a commitment today to never shop in Tesco again - and to avoid supermarkets generally.

- SUPPORT LOCAL SHOPS
We have an abundance of local shops meeting all our food needs. On Picton St Gallifords on is open until 10.30pm, Radford Mill is open til 7pm and stocks local organic and fresh produce and Licata is open til 7pm and is a shining example of a healthy food culture! The Post Office on Stokes Croft is open until 10pm (I think!) and has a free cash point. You don't need Tesco! And I just checked for myself and the Metro stores really aren't any cheaper.

- KEEP IN THE LOOP
We will continue to send you messages about the positive alternatives we are working on ... we have something pretty exciting up our sleeve which we can soon announce ... if you were only in it for the angry protest and coz it No Tesco was where it was at, then best leave the group now!

MASSIVE THANKS for all your support and hard work ... other world's are not only possible but on a quiet day I can hear them breathing ...

LOVE
Claire and the No Tesco team
