Residents have branded a former pub site an "eyesore" as it has yet to be converted to a Tesco Express.

A Tesco spokesman said: “It is still our current intention to open an Express store on the site on Wantz Road and we will be sure to keep the community updated as our plans progress.”

But June Cole, 78 and Dennis Cole, 81, of Wantz Road said: “The site looks terrible; all that wire fencing around it makes it look worse.

“It needs to be fixed and quickly, to stop vandals getting in. I like the idea, but we would prefer an Aldi as it’s cheaper.”

Doreen Bantock, 77, of Mundon Road said: “Its an eyesore, I think it’s disgusting."

Tesco still has planning applications pending in connection with the pub site.
