Dawlish and Tesco - Part 2

It would seem that the campaign to get information from Tesco about their plans for Dawlish ran into some trouble, with Tesco saying that the campaigners would be removed from Tesco's mailing list for asking some questions - it's hard to tell from the page exactly what Tesco were complaining about but read about it here. You really must read it.

After some exchange of correspondence (not detailed on the web page) the following appears at the end and is taken by the camapaigners as being an apology from Tesco. What do you think?

One of our members got this today (22nd Feb). A response to his complaint about Mel C & her merry band!

"I have looked into what happened on 6/7 December. Where strong feelings are displayed it is easy for emotions to come to the surface and it seems to me that this may have been the case on this occasion and on both sides. Melanie Chiswell is a senior and respected member of my team and, it is true to say, that she did face some considerable personal animosity demonstrated against her at the time and subsequently. I am sorry if the behaviour of a minority of people affected my team's approach to the many other people who came along to engage in a calm and constructive manner"

Adam Jackson, Public Policy Director, Tesco, Cheshunt.

It would appear that Mr Jackson's name and designation is one to remember for the future.
