Last Monday, Roger Atherton, head of the planning department at Harrogate Borough Council has finally, after a long hard struggle, has approved the application to build a Tesco Supermarket on Skipton Road, Harrogate.
After years of deliberation, Tesco gets the go ahead and Harrogatonions are thrilled! Tesco is the most popular supermarket in the UK and has recently won ‘Best Green Retailer of the year ‘ and the Grocer 33 award for Customer Service, so it is no wonder why this supermarket has been so sought after.
The supermarket is going to be placed just off Skipton Road (A59) in Harrogate where the Gasworks used to be. “This spot has been abandoned for years and is in such a prime location being that it’s over the road from B&Q and Pets at Home. All your day to day shopping essentials within two minutes’ walk of each other, brilliant!” says John Moore, site and planning manager for Tesco.
This build is even more exciting now that Tesco have issued a statement that they are launching £500 million price-cutting campaign to compete with their main rivals, ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. Chief executive Richard Brasher said “Tesco will reduce the prices of 3,000 everyday products - such as milk, bread and fruit and vegetables.”
