| Byrne wins Tesco toilet victory |
Liam Byrne met with representatives from Tesco following the city council’s decision to sell off Brockhurst Playing Fields in Hodge Hill. Tesco have agreed to work with him to regenerate the Fox and Goose shopping centre to make it a more desirable place to shop and relax.
The MP for Hodge Hill has vigorously opposed the development with local residents for several years. The council has not paid any attention and pushed the superstore through.
Recently Liam conducted a survey of local residents who were desperate for toilet facilities at the Fox and Goose shopping centre. The MP won a victory for shoppers when Tesco agreed that their toilets would be open to the public – but that people won’t have to walk through the store to get to them.
