We have seen trolley's dumped while out walking a few week ago. We saw one in the Valley Road duck pond and one near the old Holy Trinity Church in Westbourne Grove. Both the trolleys we saw were from Tesco's.

Considering Aldi, Sainsbury and Morrisons all charge £1 for the use of a trolly then these that are being found must be Tesco's. Unless people have money to throw away !!!! which I doubt.

Proudfoots possibly just a little too far to wheel into town from any of their stores.

Common sense says that in this day and age Tesco should follow the same path and resolve the problem straight away.

I find their statement as to why they do not charge rather ludicrous to say the least.

Trolley racin iz awesome peeps.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

It's rare I find myself disagreeing with Amaroo but...

Too much greed from supermarkets these days, paying for bags, etc. "Charging" for trolleys is just one more step, even if you get your money back (what if you don't have £1 change?). And anyway £1 will not stop kids taking them for joyrides. There is a Trust issue here, they don't trust me with their trolleys, why should I trust them by buying their produce?

Larger Tescos have devices on trolleys that stop them being used outside car park area, and if that's good enough for York, Leeds etc how come it's not done here?

And while I'm banging on ... "For more on this story and other great articles, pick up a copy of today's Evening News" ... what's this about???

re 4

Good old Evening news trying to scam 41p out of you, they tell you half the story on certain subjects hoping you will then speed to shop and buy evening news to read full story, no thanks

I lived in a town in Cambridgeshire a few years ago which had a Tesco and Sainsburys store in town. They got around the problem of people 'borrowing' their trollys by installing a magnetic locking device on their trolly wheels, and magnetic plates on each possible exit. Any time someone tried to push a trolly out of the car park area, the wheels would lock and it would be impossible to move it any further. As a result, no trollys were seen in rivers or hedgeways, and people didnt have to stump up £1 (which really annoys me also) to get a trolly to use.

Re: SEN asking us to buy a paper to read more - is anyone really SO interested in supermarket trollys that they cant guess what the article will say? I havent seen the paper, but heres my guess - Supermarket trollys are found in rivers, parks etc around town....supermarket bosses are 'looking into it'
Thats probably about all, I reckon.

Yes, thanks The Voice, that locking device was what I meant. Why not in Scarborough, Tesco?

Predictably, Scarborough hasnt quite got it right. When the Tesco store was refitted in Jan/Feb time, they installed the locking devices on their trolleys. However, this method only works to stop people pushing trolleys along the narrow path around the back of the store - anyone who feels like helping themselves can still push one quite happily out of the main entrance and onto Westwood!

To ' Elwsimtbs'

No arguement with your comments at all. I had not heard of the alternative to be honest. So to me the £1 returnable deposit was the logical answer to possibly resolve the problem.

To me it would seem to have resolved the problems with Sainsburys, Morrisons and Aldi.
