What's happened
Westminster City Council grants protection to local Tesco store, preventing demolition for office space and an 'art bazaar'.
Why it matters
The decision to protect the Tesco store reflects the community's desire to preserve essential local amenities and prevent further commercialization of the area. It also highlights the ongoing tension between development interests and the preservation of community resources.
What the papers say
Metro reports on the community's successful effort to protect the Tesco store from redevelopment, while The Guardian and Sky News focus on Labour's plans to address the proliferation of American-style sweet shops and support local high streets.
How we got here
The protection of the Tesco store follows a rejection of plans to replace it with office space and an 'art bazaar' in October, as reported by Metro.
