The campaign goes to Downing Street.
On 3rd October 2006 a group of campaigners took a petition containing 3541 signatures to 10 Downing Street. Included in the package were comments from hundreds of Sheringham residents and visitors against the proposed Tesco store. They were accompanied by a BBC film crew producing a documentary on supermarkets to be shown at the end of January.
