“The level of interest in this story is amazing isn't it?, NOT!

Reason? the residents have no time to express opinions, they spend every waking hour on the road, if they are not going to work they travelling to beverley, bridlington or Hull to get food and fuel.

But I see the usual wally's with a vested interest (shopkeepers) are still prone to blaming the world for their own inability. When will they learn, that with just a couple of notable exceptions the inhabitants don't want their offerings? Apart from George Hampsons electrical, an eatery or two, the Countdown store and Londis, the rest will not be missed. For years they failed to provide decent service to the residents, understocked and overpriced and disinterested being the norm.

By way of example, I recently ran out of my supermarket (Tesco) golden delicious apples, and in desperation paid the extra 20p per kg to purchase some form a local fruit & veg shop, they were utter dross, unfit for human consumption IMHO being so under ripe they needed at least week to soften enough to eat, and were still rubbish, bring it on Tesco and don't let the local shops trouble your conscience, excluding the afore mentioned I cannot think of any who deserve sympathy.”

“So that's it, Hornsea moves into the 20th century, and I know it's the 21st century but for Hornsea it's progress.

All we need now is for co-op to close and Lidl to move in, made up then! If the rumour that Wilkinsons is also going to open in Hornsea that would make 2009 Hornsea's most memorable year ever, and that's without factoring in the filling station!
And if that's not enough there's jobs for upto 270 people, all you doubters who opposed the plans please queue at the promenade for the mass walk into the sea on Sunday morning 10am, well, chance would be a fine thing.

Seriously, this could be the end of life as my grandfather new it!”

“Charles, Cott..

Why is there always some PC, green brained no mark wazurk who doesn't even live in the area with an opinion contrary to that of the locals?
Get back under your toadstool you prat and mind your own business, you look after cottingham and let the locals look after Hornsea.”

“I forgot to mention, hopefully the new store and petrol station will finish the robbers at the Co-op and Leven petrol station, not to mention the garage at Sigglesthorne, pirates.”

“if anyone has doubts about this development, ask the residents. That is NOT always the same thing as asking the councillors who are SUPPOSED to serve our interests, witness the recent fiasco with MP's expenses, very much self interest on the rampage.

Some local shop owners will whinge as per usual, the one's who remain of course, as many have gone bust despite the lack of development like this which they previously prevented. Some local shop owners (you know who you are) even got themselves elected to the council, so they could have two platforms to moan from, and despite no developments thanks to their whinging are now selling up anyway

The people of Hornsea need this store, they currently have two choices, drive miles to Hull, Beverly or Bridlington to shop and for petrol, or shop in the local Co-operative, who's pricing structure frequently reflects their monopoly.

A local Tesco (would have preferred Asda) will create competion and save locals a considerable amount on their budgets. No £10 petrol cost to drive to Hell, sorry, Hull and back plus the benefit of local fuel availability, for a town of several thousand inhabitants with no local fuel source. Hornsea has virually doubled in size and population over the last 20 years, but services have gone backwards. It's time, it's what over 85% of the inhabitants want, why are we waiting?”

“If they do improve the traffic flow with better traffic lights etc, lets hope they make a better job that they did in Beverley.”

“I like the mix of hectares and acres in this report it really makes things clear.
Tesco are taking over 28 acres of greenfield and they are doing it to make money not to improve the environment nor provide employment; they simply want to take your money.
If you want to give your money to Tesco fair enough but this is a deal with the devil and you know it.
It seems the Tesco dollar has touched even ERYC's planning department perhaps they pay better than Costa! And yes that does mean what you think it means.”

“good, we need it, there willl be the usual eco warriors, and old moaners aposing it, the same people who dont want mobile phone masts, or windfarms, then go home, turn on the electric fire, and ring somebody with thier mobiles,

come on tesco i say, they will be doing up the trafiic light and roads etc in the area as part of the planning, lets get it built asap.”
