I WAS appalled to read online that the Four Acre Tesco is closing.

I know we have an Aldi store nearby, but they do not have the same types of food as Tesco and it’s forcing many older and disabled people like myself to trek to town to buy our shopping.

There has always been some kind of shop there for as long as I have lived in the area - which is around 40 years. 

Tesco is the best they have ever had and we go every week to get our shopping, as it’s big enough for us but not too big like the huge one near town. I think that it should reopen as soon as possible. 


They keep taking away from the outskirts, but St Helens is more than the town centre.
