I heard from a usually good source not so long ago that Tesco were looking at purchasing the land next to the church for an Express type shop. Having bought flats for staff makes more sense although still along the same lines but you can see how the story came to be told. There is a similar type thread on Ware On line about tesco buying land in Ware for staff as well

Which flats are these? I am Bengeo born and bred ... are these the ones situated on the former Macs spare bit by the river? used to be a YMCA and Job Centre place too????? they've been doing them up for 2years now???? And why buy for staff???? God sake they've only just been made, they surely cannot be allowed to make a retail property if they should have made it into homes??? Very confused and it doesn't take much these days [8D]

Tesco has a significant international presence and encourages employees from other countries to seek secondment abroad. I would guess it would help if they had some properties available for these staff to rent instead of hurling them into a foreign rental market.
