Your local councillors, at the end of last summer, conducted an extensive survey of every household in Stirchley to ask their views on whether both TESCO and ASDA should be allowed to come to Stirchley.

Over 2,000 households were invited to reply.

We had over 1,000 responses back from Stirchley residents  and just over 60% thought that these two supermarkets should both be allowed to come to Stirchley.

Amongst the views expressed were; 

• They would help to regenerate Stirchley,
• They would encourage competition and drive down prices,
• They would bring much needed jobs to Stirchley,
• The CO-OP has had a monopoly for too long and is expensive,
• We would need to sort out the traffic before they came,
• They would bring new retail businesses back to Stirchley,
• They would supply much needed car parking.
