Tesco tight-lipped on store closures


RETAILER Tesco has refused to say whether any of the 43 stores across the UK it is set to close are in Rotherham.
The beleaguered business said that many of the branches to go would be convenience stores.
Tesco also announced it was shelving plans for 49 new large stores and axing its staff pension scheme for new employees.
