At a meeting held this afternoon at the Carnegie Theatre Workington, the developement council voted 11 to 6 in favour of the new Tesco megastore. This was against public opinion as voiced by at least 15/20 people at the meeting, ranging from personal to representation & Save the Cloffocks campaign. Also in attendence were the local TV & Press. There is an ongoing dispute about who owns the land, checkout below.

Save the Cloffocks Campaign, Please support, dont let the big supermarkets & The Council ignore public opinion yet again.
How can this land be built on if it's not owned by the council??????

Cumbrian, we all know this is happening up and down (no pun intended) the country and is a disgrace to the public that the government GIVES the land to THE PEOPLE and then takes it away. I wouldn't be surprised if it was on a hitlist because it was a 'culturally West Cumbrian, English, British!' site for a sport that brings a community and communities together. But we who know better believe it an effort to erode our history once again.
They are NOT LISTENING! Here is a fantastic article for those not acquainted - read it and see what is wrong with this sport first acknowledged in 1775.
