Supermarket giant Tesco's plans to finish building its ill fated store in Gerrards Cross has met with disappointment from some residents.

Tesco announced it wants to finish building the store in Gerrards Cross - after the site has sat dormant for two years.

On Tuesday Tesco revealed it wanted to start working on the Packhorse Road site again, with a new design for the tunnel on which it will be built.

All construction work stopped when the original tunnel collapsed on the train track in June 2005. Since then the store's future has remained uncertain - angering and frustrating many residents.

Tuesday's announcement is the first firm answer residents have had about the store, but it was not the one some were hoping to hear.

Graham Hoenes, from Bullstrode Way, has been against the company's plans to build in the village since day one.

The 64-year-old retired manager for Xerox, said: "It's good that we know what they're planning to do now, at least we have got that because it's been two years of completely no information at all.

"It's very disappointing however, that their plan is to go ahead with the store, which is totally disproportionate with the needs of Gerrards Cross."

He added: "The feedback I have got is that the majority of people are still against Tesco. Certainly I have talked to people, the feeling I get is that there is a lot of animosity towards Tesco."

The new tunnel design has been submitted to Network Rail for approval. If it agrees to the design, Tesco will have to submit more detailed plans about the tunnel before building work can start again.

The tunnel's structure has been revised and drawn up by a new team of engineers, made up of construction group Costain and engineering consultants Scott Wilson.

Michael Kissman, Tesco spokesman, said: "We are pleased that a safe and workable solution has now been developed that will enable us to complete the development of a new Tesco supermarket at Gerrards Cross.

"We would like to unreservedly apologise for the time this decision has taken and for the disruption which has been caused to the community since the collapse."
