That mini Tesco in Douglas is good - but it is not in a very good place in terms of the traffic. And the lack of parking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Lack of parking? At tesco? What? I am only an occasional user, but I've never not been able to park. Edit - Sometimes, I'll park at tesco and walk into town cos it's easier than the alternatives. Edited December 23, 2022 by TheTeapot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asthehills Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Tesco is getting an extension of sorts in the new year. Probably just warehousing though so still somewhere to be avoided if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All previous applications, temporary marquees for click & collect, mezzanine, chilled storage area for additional delivery/click & collect we’re all turned down. Didn’t see this one. Is this the receiving warehouse next to the overflow car park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been too many units getting occupied in St Paul's Sq, there's been a bit of a resurgence down there the past couple of months. Doesn't look the same without some unoccupied ones.
