Poll held over Sheringham supermarket plans
People in a Norfolk seaside town are to be formally asked their views about two rival applications for a supermarket.
Tesco and Waitrose both wanted to build a store in the town.
In March North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) rejected Tesco's application and instead opted for a plan by Waitrose and a local businessman.
Tesco has since submitted a new application. Sheringham Town Council will hold a parish poll on 30 September to "gauge" the feeling of electors.
A parish poll is conducted like an election for a council or parliament, open only to registered electors.
The outcome will not be legally binding but will give a clear indication of the views of the community, an NNDC spokesman said.
There will then be an NNDC planning meeting on 14 October to confirm the decision on the supermarket.
