The Tesco development in Tolworth will not put small traders on the Broadway out of business, according to Matt Magee, the man with the job of convincing residents and traders to back the superstore’s new proposal to build on the old Toby Jug site.
Traders in direct competition with Tesco, such as the Best Food mini-market, fear being swallowed up by the supermarket chain, a claim denied by the corporate affairs manager who thinks the plans will boost trade. Responding to claims from Kingston and Surbiton MP Edward Davey that the site would add to traffic congestion around the A3 roundabout and along the Broadway, he said the proposal would not lead to gridlock.
