He said: “We don’t like [the Tesco Express opening] but we can’t do anything about it.

“How is everyone going to park here.

“People don’t use the car park, they just park here.”

However, it is hoped that the new signs that are part of the ‘Tidy Hazlemere’ campaign will ease any parking issues on the parade.
