"ANGRY residents and traders in Edgware have urged people to boycott a proposed Tesco Express they say will destroy their close-knit community.

The supermarket giant could open a local store in the ground floor of the former Sparrow pub in Glengall Road as early as autumn, while the rest of the building will be converted into flats.

Tesco say the new store will create jobs and attract customers to the area, but residents say it will kill off local businesses and wreak havoc on the narrow roads."
