Local Councillors have won a key victory in a planning dispute with Tescos. The store has been forced to undertake restorative action to return features to the historic building, taken out during refurbishment.

Planning Committee member and Brunswick & Adelaide Councillor David Watkins 'We thank Tescos for finally coming round. We weren't going to let this drop as their actions were a serious breach of planning consent. This is a real victory for residents.'
