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."

Tesco pushes virtual clothes in small London stores - Marketing
The partnership will make the F&F collection available to buy in central London stores, which do not have the floor space to display the clothes, for the first time.
F&F clothing designs will appear in the windows of the Covent Garden, Dean Street and Tooley Street stores, allowing passers-by to purchase the clothes directly from their smartphones.
Passers-by who have the Aurasma app can point their mobile at one of the windows to view a virtual showcase of the F&F range on their device.
Viewers can then tap to purchase the item on display.
Emily Shamma, Tesco clothing online director, said: "Our smaller central London stores aren't big enough to have clothing ranges, so this is a great opportunity to help us to reach new customers.
The launch of the partnership comes at a difficult time for Autonomy, the company behind Aurasma.
Mike Lynch, Autonomy founder and chief executive, has resigned from the company amid confirmation that Hewlett-Packard, which bought Autonomy in October, would be cutting 27,000 jobs.
