The city council has attacked supermarket giant Tesco over the location of new stores in Nottingham.

Angry councillors say Tesco is looking at locations which they believe are inappropriate.
The retailer is pushing for a major new store in the 35-acre Eastside regeneration zone, off London Road.
It also wants to convert disused pubs into stores in Radford and Bakersfield.

Cllr Graham Chapman, deputy leader of Nottingham City Council, used a meeting of the Executive Board, where he was acting as chairman, to vent his frustration.
