i cannot believe that anyone would think this area could cope with any more traffic or cars parked

Wrenthorpe Road curves to the left just past the Methodist Church heading downhill towards the New wheel.This curve creates somthing of a blind spot in the area of the proposed shop.If there are large delivery vehicles parked ,and shoppers cars,and cars paked outside the Chemists and vans and cars parked outside Dearnleys the congestion is going to be horrendous.At rush hours and school run times the road will grind to a halt.The traders in Wrenthorpe have worked very hard and provide the village with excellent service.We do not need or want a supermarket in our village.

OMG, couldn't believe it when I saw it in the Wakefield Express, my god you are so right, traffic would be terrible, save our pubs and definately no one in the village should shop there, haven't they thought of the other shops it's going to effect, they are just out to make money.

Keep the supermarkets out of our village PUB

Why not Name and Shame? Tell us the name of the company that owns The New Wheel. People might like to write to them direct.

Tesco cannot be allowed to destroy village businesses and peoples livelihoods. Wrenthorpe does not need or want this development. It will not create any more jobs than it would destroy and would only further line the pockets of shareholders and overpaid executives. Leave our local businesses alone!

Punch Taverns own the New Wheel. I'll put a link up on the site

We don't need a supermarket in Wrenthorpe. The local businesses work very hard & would be hit by this, though I for one would not be shopping at Tesco.
Guest#10 Feb 11, 2012, 18:27

No Tesco Express!

There is absolutely no need for another Tesco express. There is one already a short drive away and we have local shops in Wrenthorpe already that provide us with all we need. You will close these down by opening this shop and will destroy the livelihoods of many families. Keep Tesco away from Wrenthorpe!

I think this is disgusting. Wrenthorpe will loose its village character and it will cause chaos in the middle of the village with extra traffic on the roads throught the village and will put many local traders out of business. This needs stopping NOW.
Guest#12 Feb 12, 2012, 14:10
We neither need nor require a Tesco in Wrenthorpe, we are more than adequately served by the local shops we already have, coupled with the fact we can ill afford to loose the pub but also the hairdressers. The local shops would be under serious threat should Tesco be allowed to open in the village and would in the not too distant future turn Wrenthorpe into village with no shops but Tesco and with the national rate of pub closures no pubs either.
Guest#13 Feb 12, 2012, 16:36
wrenthorpe is a lovely village,please do not spoil it by putting supermarkets there,it will take all the character out of this very nice village not counting the small buisness;s which are trying to make a living what is going to happen to these people.how will wrenthorpe cope with the extra amount of traffic.eg;bad bend ,school nearby no parking facilities,please think again,
Guest#14 Feb 14, 2012, 16:08
I shudder to think of the dangerous, possibly fatal traffic congestion which will be caused by inconsiderate drivers parking in the road on this blind bend on a restricted carriageway instead of using the (very small) car park if Tesco get planning permission to open this store. It is a fatal accident waiting to happen.
Guest#15 Feb 14, 2012, 18:13
Tesco must be prevented from ruining small business and taking over communities. Enough is enough!
Guest#16 Feb 17, 2012, 12:22
Wrethorpe doesnt need Tesco. If Tesco comes you can say goodbye to the Post Office shop and the mioi market.
Guest#17 Feb 18, 2012, 22:40

Surely there are enough supermarkets without yet another one! The Wheel is an integral part of Wrenthorpe which I visit frequently when I return to Wakefield to visit friends but one which I frequented a lot when I lived in the area! Just think about the local shops who will make a loss at Tesco's profit and, yes, yet another local shop will close!

Guest#18 Feb 19, 2012, 18:46
This is a disgrace and must not happen!
Guest#19 Feb 21, 2012, 16:53

pathetic

Nothing can be done about this, it has the right planning permisson! all it needs planning for is sign changes really... and none of you fools have a valid reason to object, so you will be laughed at!  why dont you all get over yourselves and accept change?  traffic? there is a carpark you idiots so what difference will there be? other businesses? thats tosh aswell its a village and there are 3 hairdresses are all those needed? no! are they there yes?  I for one dont use londis, feel raped when coming out with the stupidly high prices  - viva la Tesco #deludedwrenthorpeidiots

Guest#20 Feb 21, 2012, 17:13
wrenthorpe has speed bumps? has for years, so this stupid talk of accidents is complete garbage!
jobs will be created, which are needed!!
prices are cheap, again needed for stuggling families
no one goes in this pub, why should punch taverns make a loss? you wouldnt!!!

grow up you deluded people, you sound like blind fools
Guest#21 Feb 21, 2012, 17:15
what is the aim of the website and how does it intend to save the pub from being turned into a supermarket? According to the dictionary, a petition is “a written document signed by a large number of people demanding some form of action from a government or other authority”. So exactly what action are you demanding and from whom? Neither the website, this news item or petition state who is being petitioned. As for you being “fully aware of the planning regulations involved” then why does the ‘petition’ state “Should the application be approved not only will the village lose the pub….”? If you are fully aware of planning regulations and that the pub could change its use without the need for planning approval then why include that statement? It implies that the petition is relating to an imminent planning application for a change of use from a pub to a Tesco Express and that people signing the petition can affect the change – when in actual act they can’t! It seems to me that you are either deliberately misleading people or you just don’t actually have a clue what you are on about. Again, I ask - What is the aim of the website and how does it intend to save the pub from being turned into a supermarket? What specific action are people being asked to show their support for?

To the person who made the above comments.

If you are supporting a Tesco in Wrenthorpe, fine. You are welcome to make your feelings know. In a calm civilised way. Not 3 abusive posts on this website.

The website's aim is to inform and find out peoples feelings regaring this issue.

A friendly pub with good beer.

No objection to Punch Taverns selling off failed pubs - but this isn't one.
