THE woman behind a petition to save South Molton Recycle Phoenix has been talking to Tesco about its plans for the town's central car park area.
Melanie Shiner, an SMR Phoenix employee, was phoned by Tesco after writing to its chief executive Philip Clarke.
She said: "We had a good conversation and I was asked to send some of the comments that were on the petition opposed to the proposed central development."
She has selected a number of comments from the petition to give Tesco a good idea of the opposition to plans for a supermarket in South Molton.
Tesco confirmed its had been in touch with Ms Shiner and North Devon Council. A spokesman said there was no time scale set for the plans and that no agreement had been reached with NDC. He said: "We are in discussions with the council and any application would be subject to a full public consultation. This consultation would allow us to take account of all local views before any application is submitted."
Ms Shiner commented on a lack of response from NDC leader Brian Greenslade: "I think Tesco's response to me has been very refreshing, considering that Mr Greenslade still hasn't replied to a letter that I enclosed with the petition when it was presented back in February."
