Woo-hoo! Big excitement as a BBC film crew were in Shepton today. The incident in question is the forced removal of a bunch of protesters who have tried to stop the demolition of a derelict factory, and the necessary chopping down of a number of trees, to make way for a new Tesco store in the centre of town.

I'm no lover of the evil behemoth Tesco but to those who claim that a more central Tesco will kill the town, I'd point out that Shepton Mallet has been dead for years.......
