I just can't wait for it to built, surely it can only be an improvement to the small store on Jennyfields

I'm all for the new Tesco store being built as we are sick of having to travel to Asda to do our shopping, the local shops charge extortionate prices, and I will miss the skate park as it is an excellent filming location.

I think it is a good idea however there is already; Asda, Morrison's, Sainsburys, Waitrose and Marks and Spencers. Tesco's provide a wide choice of comsumable items at fairly cheap prices.

Now, my view may be wrong as i'm only 14, but personally, i believe the Tesco build is a much needed addition to the Harrogate economy. We are already known as one of the most wanted to live in towns/cities in the country, and i believe adding a new Supergiant store will only help increase the level of sophistication that the town upholds. The land only helps to destroy harrogates natural beauty at the present time, and since it is being used as a rundown skatepark, we may as well develop it into somewthing that can aid the whole community. For me, tesco must be built in Harrogate!

I hate tescos as a company. they are greedy, they are ruining the british economy, ripping off british farmers, boasting about fair trade, when in fact they do nothing to help anyone.

Now that it has been passed - has Tesco's forgot to actually build the store......?

ANY START DATE ? COMPLETION DATE ?

Or will it be a uncontrolled skate park for another 10 years ?

I'm all for this exciting new development in Harrogate. It will give an extra dimension to shopping in the town.

I'm terribly posh and think the Tesco development would be spiffing.

Must dash, meeting Charles for a twilight round and a few in the 19th hole.

Tesco will bring many jobs into the area for local residents, and bring cheaper produce for all of us. Yes, the area around Jennyfields will be a little more congested but there are other routes to cross the town centre. This is the 21st century, we need modern supermarkets to provide for our community.

I lived on Electric Ave for 22 years and in Hgte all my life. The site chosen is the worst possible, even supposing the town needed another supermarket. Access from side roads on to the A59 will require traffic lights especially Crowberry Drive which is already a cut off to the town centre. Lots of people in adjacent villages at present shop in Ripon to avoid Harrogate traffic, what will happen if all these travel down the A59 as well? Purgatory! Electric Ave will become a car park. As for the bribes!

I live on Glendowne Terrace, right next to where it's going to be. I cannot see what the fuss is about. Let them do it, it is a horrible site at the moment, reminds of 1970s Russia.
