The new roundabout leads to the newly built Tesco but the £22 million development has been mothballed. Tesco are reviewing their plans after falling market share, falling profits and a huge accountancy 'issue' of overstating profits. It may still open but by not employing any staff it gives them time to decide what is the best plan for the site.
