“People seem to have forgoten Newbegin,now Tesco is here,Trade is down and there is a fear the shop owners will not survive.the footfall in Newbegin is way down.Tesco have done it again another town destroyed.
when wiill councils learn.”

“What a disaster for TESCO so far. Although I wont buy anything there, been for a nosy and look around twice now. Both times absolutely empty.( Dont be fooled by amount of cars in car park, 50 of them are staff cars) Not one car in the petrol station!!! There were 5 tills with staff and no customers. When was the last time you saw that in any Supermarket!!. Remember a lot of these 170 jobs are temporary and will be reveiwed when the Store find its levels over first few months.
PS. Have you noticed everything to do with tesco is thousands " Over a THOUSAND apply for jobs " , "THOUSANDS flock to new Tesco Supamarket".
Next report will probally read. "Tesco loose THOUSANDS at New Hornsea Store which is a complete FLOP!."”

“Not going to well down at Tescos. Thursday it opened at 5pm manager telling there boss the store was empty. (Dont have conversations on the shop floor.) Next day (Friday) fuel down 1pence a litre. Dont use the store. Cheaper fuel”

“BRill”

“it's a sad state of affairs if you need a tesco superstore to attract people to your town, but then again it is something unique! (must be at least half a days drive to the nearest one).
I am glad to see that tesco have created 170 jobs because all of a sudden there seemed to be many people leaving their current jobs, thanks tesco for taking pity on these people in their hour of need. Unfortunately as local trade has decreased the former employers cannot afford to replace the staff.
The town centre shops are not in the best shape it is true, but this is not the fault of the tennants. The buildings belong to a selfish, selfserving landlord who has messed the shopkeepers about for many years not renewing leases on the promise of redevelopment, hence the disrepair due to lack of investment.
I hope the new development attracts more people to the town centre otherwise we could end up vacant shops or a boarded up street like many other towns throughout the country making it a horrible place to live. I hope this doesn't happen. USE THEM OR LOSE THEM!!!”

“I appreciate your comments on shopping Linds01980. But now we have Tesco, and maybe there will be more development at Freeport. If the council are to take a more pragmatic approach in developing Hornsea it would be better to consult with local traders and residents, and not allow flawed research to dictate policy. We are lucky to live here and should take care not to spoil the character of Hornsea.”

“I think were missing the point.Supermarkets generally sell cheap petrol to attract people into their stores. TESCO cannot even get this right. From the outset they are more expensive than Morrisons and ASDA.
How can we trust them to be competitive with the rest of our shopping. No wonder TESCO wiped £5 billion pounds off their share value in 1 day last week! By their own admission they are falling behind with their competitors and they need to make changes. The only way to do this is increase prices.
Stay away get yourself down to ASDA or Morrisons. the savings are too much to ignore!”

“@ Linds01980

By my reckoning my car costs about 13.6p a mile, which means driving to Willerby will cost me £2.70 ish, which granted is more than the £2.40 saving, but overall, I find personally that 60 litres of Shell Diesel lasts me about 75 miles more than 60 litres of Tesco Diesel. So the saving is worthwhile.”

“gassetta - I don't understand the 8 miles comment. Aldbrough - one of the places you site - is just over 8 miles from Tesco in Hornsea!”

“what a lot of you aren't picking up if you live Aldbrough, Flinton, Garton area, its a long way to Seaton, or Bilton, yes I too prefer Asda to Tesco's, but try having to drive 8 miles for fuel on a Sunday or in an evening, im glad Tesco's is open, the little shops will do ok ,Tescos is a good walk from Hornsea for a few things, the Coop will suffer, now that is over priced rubbish,”
