Tenbury MP Harriett Baldwin has called on Tesco to work with Tenbury if they want to build support for a new store. Harriett Baldwin confirmed she has agreed to meet representatives from the company who are keen to work with the town to help fund significant improvements as well as building a new ‘eco-store’. Harriett said: “I met with the Tesco Corporate Social Responsibility team and asked if the company could work with local residents to improve the town’s amenities. “Of particular interest to me were proposals to help win extra funding for flood defences for the town, which are badly needed. Harriett added: “Tesco representatives are keeping me informed of their plans and are answering my questions. The company is keen to hear local views on how it can best make a contribution to the community. “I have actively suggested that they speak to the Environment Agency about the town’s need for investment in flood defences.” Residents have until the end of the week to comment on the planning application to Malvern Hills District Council.
