Back in March I blogged about the successful fight to stop The Crispin pub, in Chesterfield, from being taken over by Tesco and turned into one of their 'Express' convenience stores. Locals mounted a campaign against the plans and the application was refused by the local council.
Unfortunately, I've just been informed that the supermarket giant has now resubmitted a revised application to take over the pub.
And local people are once again campaigning to stop the move.
If successful, it would become Chesterfield's ninth Tesco-owned store, and Chesterfield is a pretty small town.
The Crispin, on Ashgate Road, has been a public house since 1840 and was originally a hostelry for weary traders bringing salt to the tanneries of Chesterfield.
There is a petition to Save the Crispin, sign it here or visit their Facebook page.
