Report
Have just found out that the Caf attached to you is closing and an Indian restaurant is opening in its place - all I can say is that you will certainly loose a lot of passing trade - I assume they will be open during the day or is it to be an evening establishment only and your loss is Tesco's gain plus I'm sure that the neighbourhood will appreciate the noise at night from late night diners - very sad day
