The proposed move of Tesco to the Avanta Seeds old site will have good and bad effects on Holdingham. First the good: hoopefully less traffic on the Lincoln Road and maybe less litter.
The negativer is reduced shopping opportunities for Holdingham. However the site will, I understand remain retail as seperate units - but without food retail. In other words I think the plan is for Tesco to let the units for specific purposes.
Outline planning permission has been given for this but the big issue is still the proposed super Tesco on Southgate (near the Station) and linked to the new road through the Boston Road REC.
Oh, and by the way, there are plans to close the Level Crossing at the Station if a bridge is built near the Maltings. I don't remember this being proposed when it went to a Town vote in 2005.
