I WRITE regarding the Punch Bowl in Lowther Street, which regulars fear could become a Tesco.

Whoever thinks this would work needs to think again. The Groves has already lost The Magpie and The Reindeer.

To lose another pub would be to take away part of the community.

There is a Spar and other shops in Lowther Street and another big shop where the The Reindeer stood.

Has Tesco thought about parking for customers?

Big lorries and deliveries would be a problem. And what about the damage a Tesco could do to local shops?
