Does anyone know when this is going to start? they got their planning permission back in January but its been a good while since I've heard anything about it.

It appears to have been shelved for the present but no doubt it will eventually go ahead as Greystones is one of Tesco's busiest shops.

What exactly are they doing? Is this the petrol station that's been rumoured for years?

no petrol station.

they're demolishing the existing store and covering the entire site with a much enlarged TescoExtra outlet with basement carpark.

Wow, I actually already consider it quite a large tesco as it is. I would hope that they (and I'm sure they will) change the the traffic control measures around there, it can quite often be difficult enough to get off the bellevue road onto the Church road

Cool. I love the way the trolley wheels stick to the travelator.
I have never worked out how to beat this magic though, despite much pushing and pulling of the trolleys :pac:
