TESCO'S slogan might be Every Little Helps but according to traders in Coulsdon, this attitude doesn't extend to a spot of tidying up.

Shopkeepers in the town have accused the £2billion profit-making supermarket giant of refusing to clear up fly-tipping behind the store, which has blocked access to other independent shops on the street.

Alan Harris, who runs Coulsdon Home Hardware, and Ray Wookey, from Cycling Made Easy, have complained to the Chipstead Valley Road store's manager as well as calling the head office about the mess left at the back of the shop.

The track, which all the shops back onto and use as a delivery route, has been periodically blocked for weeks.

"We are really quite outraged," said Mr Wookey.

"Tesco have a CCTV camera out here looking over the fly-tipping and they will not cooperate by giving footage to the police."

Mr Harris said: "It's not public land so Tesco should take responsibility for it.

"They have all the money and resources to deal with something like this. I know it is not their rubbish and people have just dumped it here but we need to work together. They haven't taken any notice of us.

"There is also a mother here with small children who couldn't get her car out so had to take them to school on the bus, which is just unfair.

"It's also dangerous - what happens if one of them needs to go to the hospital in an emergency?

"It also affects our ability to run our businesses and we have had problems getting deliveries in and out.

"Tesco do not use this back entrance and instead block up the main road outside and the pavements, which is not good for customers."

Mr Wookey said: "It's also a health hazard, especially if it gets worse. We should not have this in the UK, it looks third world."

On Tuesday, after Mr Harris' wife Lynn had told Tesco they would call the press about the problem if nothing was done, the area manager finally got in touch.

Mr Harris said: "As soon as they thought they might get some bad publicity they called up and said they would try and remove it as soon as possible.

"We had been trying to get hold of the area manager for weeks and they wouldn't give us his number."

A Tesco spokesman said: "We always want to be a good neighbour in the communities we serve and will be working with the local authorities to help to prevent fly-tipping in the local area."

AFTER nine months of lies Stuart Hazell finally admitted the terrible truth.

He did so, his barrister said, because Tia Sharp's family had "suffered enough". It is difficult not to infer he intended them to suffer four days of harrowing evidence.

On Monday, he changed his plea and admitted murdering 12-year-old Tia. In waiting until the fifth day of his trial, he snatched away her dignity as he had her young life.

His insistence that Tia's death had been an accident forced the prosecution to outline, in convincing yet horrific detail, how he sexually assaulted and killed the schoolgirl, then took a photograph of her body and hid it in the loft.

Her friends and family heard and saw horrors they could have been spared, and then had to endure them being repeated in newspapers and on television.

As Hazell was told he faced spending at least the next 38 years in prison, there were cries of "beast" among the cheers and sobbing in the public gallery.

The 37-year-old stood practically emotionless, much as he had throughout the trial, before being quickly taken to the cells.

Hazell had stared blankly, shaking slightly, as the judge Mr Justice Nicol described how he abused the family's trust "in the most grievous way possible".

"Tia was 12 years old when she died," he said.

"She was the grandchild of Christine, your partner. You had known her for many years.

"Christine says she idolised you. She was certainly happy to spend much time in your company and it was she who asked to come and visit you on that Thursday in August.

"She was a sparky girl who was full of life, but you took that life from her. All that lay ahead of her – a career, loves and a family of her own – will now never be.

"The loss has been devastating for her mother, her father and all of her relatives and friends."

Why and how he killed Tia, they may never know. Hazell may have confessed, but his silence denied them that closure.

What the prosecution did establish is that at some point in the early hours of August 3 last year, the former window cleaner killed a girl who thought of him as a grandfather.

He then wrapped Tia's body in a sheet, covered it with bin bags and hid her in the loft of the house he shared with her grandmother Christine Bicknell in The Lindens, New Addington.

His lies began when Ms Bicknell returned home the following day and quickly spiralled out of control, until 80 police officers and the entire community were searching for Tia.

Hazell, like the murderers he claimed to have nothing in common with, even agreed to a television interview, telling a reporter he would "never think" of harming Tia, adding: "I love her to bits. She's like my own daughter."

It was not until August 10, when the smell from the loft became obvious, that Tia's body was found and Hazell was arrested, after a two-hour manhunt.

The question of how long he should serve in prison focused on whether the killing had been sexually motivated.

Prosecutor Andrew Edis QC argued: "We do not know and will never know exactly what took place in the house that night, but it is the submission of the prosecution that Hazell committed a significant sexual offence against her, killed her, took her photograph as some sort of keepsake and then, in quite a calculated way, wrapped up the body."

The evidence appeared damning. Tia's blood was found on a sex toy found in Hazell's bedside cupboard and his semen was discovered on her duvet. Her DNA was found in blood on a belt in his bag when arrested.

Lord Carlile QC, representing Hazell, urged the judge not to impose a whole life term, saying that his client did not set out to murder Tia or find sexual gratification from killing her.

"We are not concerned with a man who, over a long period of years, has been interfering with large numbers of children, or indeed any other children," he added.

Mr Justice Nicol thought it "more than likely" a photograph of Tia naked on her bed had been taken after she had died then, horrifically, posed for his own gratification. Yet he could not be satisfied the motive behind the murder had been sexual.

Before asking Hazell to stand, the judge praised his late guilty plea and wish to avoid causing further distress to Tia's family.

"That is very commendable, but they have had to endure four days of a very public trial," he said.

"Although much of the evidence has been by way of agreed facts, the prosecution had to deal with the account of Tia's death which you gave to prison officers and your father – a wholly fictitious account of Tia falling down stairs and dying as a result of an accident.

"And so it was necessary for the prosecution to lay out for the jury your sexual interest in Tia and for the jury to see the photograph of Tia naked.

"Your plea of guilty has spared the family none of that."

I WOULD like to reserve special praise for Aaron Wilbraham for Monday night.

I thought he was absolutely awesome and he summed up the mood of the players, and I'm so proud of him because his mum was taken into hospital.

You would never know it, would you? I can't say how proud I am of that man. He has been an understudy to the best striker in the division, someone who has scored more than everyone else.

Wilbraham played in that position on Monday and did brilliantly, but the lads love him, I love him, and on Monday he was awesome.

I was very unhappy in the first half for one particular trip on Wilfried on the edge of the box which Mark Clattenburg missed, and that was a bad miss from a referee of his quality.

I told him that when I was on the touchline. I did ask him about a challenge involving Andrea Orlandi when he was rolling around but I got that one wrong because he did get a cut near his eye.

I apologised to Orlandi and to Gus Poyet, but I was having a go at Clattenburg for the free-kick on the edge of the box, and then how David Lopez cynically, continentally tripped Wilfried up.

And how many of those did we see on Monday? But I could not be more proud of my football club than I am right now.

We're taking on Watford, but I'm delighted it's not Leicester City or even Bolton Wanderers, and we're completely mesmeric that it's not Brighton.

Watford are a fantastic team, but so are we, so I can't wait for it now.

I'm not being funny but their fans are really nice and there will be no problems, and they've got a lovely manager who likes to play the right way.

Last time we played them, we learn from what we do I think. We were 2-0 down at half-time but we won the second half 2-0 with quite some style and purpose.

I think they will remember that, and they do have quality players, but so have we.

I bumped into someone in a restaurant with my wife before the game and the guy was a Palace fan and his wife was a Brighton fan. She couldn't wipe the smile off her face, she had a grin from ear to ear. He asked for a photo with me, and he said 'guess who she supports'? I said 'by the look of her, it has to be Brighton'.

I'm not being funny, but Gus Poyet's interview after the game last Friday just about summed it all up. The way he was with a smile on his face ahead of Monday – well, who is smiling now, eh?

I think we made Brighton nervous and we learnt from the first game and improved.

It would have been nice of Gus to say some better things about us, but for us to go to their place and do that is amazing.

EIGHT businesses threatened with closure after the collapse of Allders are aiming to give themselves a new lease of life.

The traders, which include takeaway food outlets, a branch of Coughlans bakery, a watch repairers and a bureau de change, are all located in what used to be known as the Allders Mall, linking North End with George Street.

They all faced an uncertain future when the 150-year-old department store went to the wall last September.

But the businesses survived thanks to backing from the council and landlords Minerva and they are now aiming to attract more customers, by rebranding the area as North End Mall.

Neelofar Khan, who runs the Chilli Chutney and Chai Corner food outlets in the mall, said: "There are still many people who think that because of the closure of Allders, the mall has also closed.

"We have recovered some of the business we lost but we still have a long way to go."

She added: "All of the businesses here are family-run, small home-grown businesses which have fought through thick and thin and we are grateful to our loyal customers for continuing to support us."

The traders are now determined to go all out, to heighten the profile of the mall and show shoppers what they are missing.

The rebranding process has started with Minerva taking on responsibility for cleaning and lighting the area and discussions are under way with the association about making other improvements to the mall's appearance.

Tramlink has also agreed to allow traders to use space on the rear of the George Street tram stop to advertise their businesses and also offered advertising space on other stops around Croydon.

The businesses have been talking with representatives from Westfield and Hammerson, about securing their future in the two companies' joint regeneration of the town's retail core.

At the same time, the traders hope the rebranding will let shoppers see that the mall is part of North End as it is now, rather than part of Allders as it was in the past.

Ms Khan said: "The key message is that we're still open and thriving and we're serving people in a reliable, friendly way."

CRYSTAL Palace fans have described their play-off humiliation of Brighton as being "up there" with beating Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final in 1990.

The Eagles beat the Seagulls 2-0 on Monday, to win the tie by the same score on aggregate and secure a place in the Wembley final against Watford.

Manchester United-bound Wilfried Zaha scored both goals to send the 2,000 travelling fans into raptures.

And while not everyone was lucky enough to secure a seat at the Amex stadium, fans buying final tickets at Selhurst Park on Tuesday were still on a massive high.

Phil Barclay, 65, has supported the club since 1963 and said this could give him the best 50th anniversary as a Palace fan possible.

The South Norwood resident, who broke out into chants of "Hark now hear the Palace sing" while the Advertiser spoke to him, said: "What sweet revenge that was for the other game at Brighton earlier in the season.

"We lost 3-0 and were devastated and now we are off to WEMBERRLLEYY! That was up there with when we beat Liverpool 4-3 at Villa Park."

Ian Holloway's side put in a fine display against Gus Poyet's pre-match favourites, and fans young and old were celebrating.

Luke Cooper, 15, who was buying an away shirt with his 13-year-old brother Robert, said: "They hit the bar and made Julian Speroni make a brilliant save. We were jumping around everywhere."

Andrew Willatt, 24, added: "I still can't believe we played that well. It was probably as good as I have ever seen us play.

"It was the perfect away performance."

Palace co-chairman Steve Browett, who admitted he lost his voice after the match, said he was surprised at how far the club had come in such a short space of time.

He said: "I woke up this morning and couldn't speak – we didn't get back until about 3am.

"It was such a fantastic occasion for the fans. Tickets went on sale for Wembley this morning [Tuesday] and we have already sold 11,000. I am sure we will bring an even better atmosphere to Wembley.

"I think we've got a great chance. I'm not saying we are going to beat Watford by any means but Brighton away is a very tough place to go and win.

"We need to make sure we play at the same level of intensity."

A COUPLE'S wedding day is tiring enough without the prospect of running through a hilly park in the mud.

And while some people run away to get married, very few actually run on their wedding day.

But newlyweds John Sell and Emma Frost, of Bencombe Road, Purley, are made of sterner stuff, and were not going to give up their strenuous exercise routine simply because they were tying the knot.

What they did not count on, however, was the surprise reception they got when they turned up at Whyteleafe Recreation Ground, off Hillbury Road, on Saturday.

The Total Body Fitness keep-fit classes members insisted the happy couple wore fancy dress when they turned up for an early-morning boot camp.

John, a 44-year-old electrician, was clad in a blue tutu, bow tie and waistcoat, while his bride-to-be, 45, looked dainty in a pink tutu, a veil and a wig.

Emma, a food preparer for store photographic presentations, said: "It was brilliant fun. When we first saw the tutus being taken out of a car, I thought 'please, no!'

"When John and I were running dressed up in the park, I tried not to look at dog walkers nearby – God knows what they must have thought.

"At one stage we were linked together by an elasticated exercise band. It felt like we were on a ball and chain – I hope its not an omen for the future.

"The surprise helped make our day. We will look back on it and laugh."

Total Body Fitness founder Lindsay Gillam organised the fancy dress fun. She said: "John and Emma were taken by surprise but they took it on the chin. I didn't go any easier on them because it was their wedding day."

Later in the day, John and Emma had a civil wedding at the Purley Knoll home of Emma's father Clive.

A vintage tea party reception followed.

The couple will jet off shortly on a two-week honeymoon to Australia – without the tutus.

DANIEL Morgan was found dead in a car park 26 years ago, with an axe in his head.

The father of two, from South Norwood, was thought to be close to uncovering a web of police corruption at the time of his killing, while similar allegations have dogged subsequent inquiries into his death.

His killers still have not been brought to justice and last week, Home Secretary Theresa May announced a "Hillsborough-style" independent panel review of the case.

Alastair Morgan has fought tirelessly for justice since his brother's death and says his family have been through "mental torture".

Reacting to news of the review, he told the Advertiser: "We never had any intention of giving up on this. We have been pushing for this for a long time and we were happy when the Home Office finally got in touch last year."

Daniel Morgan was aged 37 when he was killed in March 1987. His body was found in the Golden Lion pub car park, in Sydenham.

Daniel, of Warminster Road, co-ran the business Southern Investigations from Thornton Heath High Street.

The panel, led by Sir Stanley Burnton, will examine the circumstances of the murder, its background and the police handling of the case. It will also look at potential police involvement in the killing and if they played a part in those responsible not being brought to justice.

Connections between private investigators, police officers and journalists from the News of the World will also be probed by the panel.

Alastair has been in negotiations with the Home Office through his solicitor for months after they renewed their interest in the crime.

His solicitor, Raju Bhatt, sat on the panel for the Hillsborough enquiry in 2012, which exposed the lies and deceit involved and led to a new criminal investigation. Alastair said: "He has been a great source of help.

"We have had incredible amounts of support from a lot of different people. I think it is a story that has such huge public interest. For institutions like the police to be acting in this way shines a light on a sickness at the heart of society."

Five police inquiries into Mr Morgan's death have been conducted and four men were charged with his murder in 2008.

Morgan's business partner Jonathan Rees, 56; Rees' brothers-in-law Glenn Vian, 52, and Garry Vian, 50; and builder James Cook, 56, were due to stand trial in April 2009. But the case collapsed in 2011 after lengthy legal delays and all the charges were dropped

Mr Morgan, who works as a translator, said his family's search for the truth has dominated his life since the killing. He said: "This has taken over mine and my family's life. I have probably had five or six hundred meetings and phone calls with people about the subject since it happened. I work on a freelance basis because while this has been going on, I could never have been an employee for a company.

"It is not necessarily all about justice, it is about finding out the truth. We want as much media coverage as possible, so these failings can be highlighted."

In 2011, Tim Godwin, the Metropolitan Police Service's acting commissioner at the time, apologised to the family for their failure to bring Daniel's killers to justice.

Alastair said: "We thought the apology was a very courageous thing for Tim to do. The way the police have acted has not been entirely black from start to finish but I certainly handle them with care now."

Mr Morgan's mother, Isobel Hulsmann, is now 85 and has been fighting for justice for her son for 26 years.

His brother added: "So much has happened that I have to talk about it in broad brushstrokes. What we have had to endure is nothing less than mental torture. This has been with me since I was 38 years old.

"It has changed my family's relationship with this country forever."

MY LADS went over to a club on Monday night that hadn't lost at home in 2013 with a huge prize up for grabs and we managed to cope with that scenario.

We won when we needed to, and we deserved to. We beat Brighton fair and square, that's what made me proud. The confidence we've got from it is fantastic.

The run we've been on, I think the group has been growing and I couldn't be prouder of them.

Brighton hadn't been beaten there this year until Monday. And once they have gone 1-0 down, they have not come back to win a game either.

I can't understand how arrogant they were.

I think when Gus Poyet watches the game back, I think he'll think it was wrong to just give Wilfried credit.

Without being nasty, he didn't give us much credit, and a few months back he said Will Buckley was better than Wilf.

Last week he said Mile Jedinak was our best player without mentioning Wilf, then all of a sudden after Monday he said he was world-class.

Life is about big moments and I have said to the player that this is a life-changing moment if you can win.

Now they have, they step into the biggest arena with a chance.

I have just got to calm everyone down now, but it's nice to see smiles. Every single person connected with the club did their job at Brighton. I would say it was one of the best moments of my career because everyone wrote us off with the run we were having.

With the talent we've got in the squad, we've got every chance in a situation like this.

My players know what I'm about and I think I helped them on Monday. We talked about what might happen and we had a plan for each scenario because I've been there and done it.

These play-offs are notorious, and we'll try to do the same again against Watford, if it's this, if it's that, you need to do this, you need to do that.

As long as we can go to Wembley with a clear mind and a heart as big as what we've got then anything is possible.

We've kept two clean sheets now, and the last six games have been testing, none more so than Millwall away.

The way Brighton were and the way their fans were, it was almost the biggest test we could have faced and I felt we passed it with flying colours.

When Dean Moxey cleared it off the line from Ashley Barnes, we couldn't get the message through to mark him as it was so loud, and Julian Speroni made a great save to deny him just beforehand.

I was delighted that we came through such a stern test and we've kept our arch-rivals from having some bragging rights because they all thought they were going to do it.

I don't particularly like them now after some of the comments that were aimed at me and the players when we got to the ground, and they deliberately sent the team coach the wrong way too.

A couple of other things happened but I'm delighted we managed to put them in our favour.

PURLEY Cricket Club will be joined by Savion Lara, 19, cousin of West Indian legend Brian, through their scholarship scheme.

The club has always promoted young players coming up through the ranks but feel they should also look further afield.

Under the scheme, Savion will have the opportunity to live and work in the UK. The scholarship provides flights and a bursary, with the club providing accommodation.

Purley were contacted directly by the international agents due to a reputation for hospitality and player development.

This reputation has been hard-earned, and reflects well on the dedication of all the committee members.

The experience has proved to be fruitful for everyone involved, providing international connections and overseas tours.

Purley's Andy MacDonald said: "Having young talented cricketers around on colts' training evenings, as well as for our academy and senior players, can only be a positive influence, as far as I am concerned.

"It opens the door for potential overseas tours, and other reciprocal arrangements.

"We are also very grateful to two local companies, Macdonald Design and J W Cannon, who are sponsoring the player, so there will be no cost to the club.

"We at Purley are very excited about having Savion come over to us.

"We think in the future other clubs will follow this initiative, as it benefits all parties, provides other opportunities for sponsorship and promotional activities, and generally raises the profile of club cricket in Surrey."

Ian Butler played for Purley, the following winter making his Test debut for New Zealand, while Australian Tim Miles played County second matches for both Surrey and Kent.

FAIRGROUND workers have raised questions about Christine Bicknell's account of what she did on the night her granddaughter Tia Sharp was reported missing.

In a statement read out in court, Ms Bicknell told police that she and Stuart Hazell went to look for the 12-year-old at a funfair in Ashburton Park, Addiscombe.

But the manager and the head of security of J. Davis & Son Funfairs both told the Advertiser that no one came to look for Tia.

We spoke to fairground staff before Tia's body was found in the loft of Ms Bicknell's home in The Lindens, New Addington, on August 10 last year, but have only now been able to publish the story for legal reasons.

Charmaine Davis, who operates the amusement park with her husband John, was working in the entrance kiosk on August 3 last year with her best friend and her daughter, McKenzie

Mrs Davis told the Advertiser: "I was in the box most of the time and if I wasn't there, my daughter or my best friend was.

"No one asked me if they could come in and look for a missing girl.

"We're on the entrance, which is pretty quiet after 7pm. We would remember someone asking about a missing girl."

Ms Bicknell was working a night shift at a care home when Hazell sexually assaulted and killed her granddaughter in the early hours of August 3.

Last Wednesday, jurors at the Old Bailey were read the 47-year-old's statement. Ms Bicknell said she returned home at around 3pm and had a nap. When she woke up and asked where Tia was, Hazell said she had gone shopping in Croydon and was due back at 6pm.

Ms Bicknell began to worry at 7.15pm so they decided to drive to the funfair because Tia had been there before with a friend.

"We went up to a security guard and said we were looking for my granddaughter who had gone missing," she said.

"My problem with making a description of her is that I didn't know what she was wearing. Stuart showed him a photograph on his phone.

"We went into the fair...I wasn't shouting her name just looking. We were there for 30 to 45 minutes and then went back out to the car and wondered what to do."

Hazell, 37, told police about the funfair in two separate interviews before repeating the story when speaking to ITN on August 9.

He explained: "We got into the car and went down to the funfair where I thought she might have snuck out to or something.

"We went down to the funfair (he turns to Tia's uncle David Sharp) it was Orpington, wasn't it?"

David replied: "Err...no it was Ashburton."

Mr Hazell said: "Ashburton Park. I walked the perimeter of the funfair, on the outside of the fence, to see if I could see her.

"Me and Chris, we couldn't see her so we went up to a security guard by the main gates.

"We explained what happened, (that) my granddaughter might have snuck off in there. So he let us in to go and have a look around.

"We were in there for a good hour. We looked all the way around. Chris went one way I went the other. We looked at every single ride. All the arcades. We stood by the Ghost Train thing. We looked everywhere basically."

Following the interview, the Advertiser contacted J. Davis & Son Funfairs.

Mrs Davis, who said there was only one way into the fair, said: "No family members came in and asked about looking for Tia.

"They would have to come to the front window and ask to go in and look for her.

"I don't recall anyone doing that. Neither does my daughter or my best friend.

"We recall people coming and giving out leaflets the following day but we don't recall anyone coming and asking if they could look for a girl that evening. It would have stuck in our minds."

When asked whether anyone had asked to enter the fair to look for a missing girl, McKenzie, 17, said: "No. The only thing we had was on very late on Friday night, two women, between 25 and 30, came up and gave us some of the pictures and told us she had gone missing. Then they went."

Stephen Petley, of security firm Loc19, was one of two guards on duty that evening, and the only male.

The Advertiser showed Mr Petley a picture of Stuart Hazell, but he did not recognise him.

"I've talked to everyone who worked that night and none of them were asked about a missing 12-year-old," said Mr Petley.

"There was an incident during the day. A couple had lost a small child but that was resolved. It had nothing to do with this."

We passed this information to the police last Thursday, and asked Detective Chief Inspector Nick Scola, who led the murder investigation, what checks were done to confirm the veracity of the couple's accounts.

He was not in a position to answer before the Advertiser went to press because, a press officer said, reviewing statements would be a "lengthy process".

I'M NOT ashamed to admit it. It's no secret. I've been known to dabble on the dark side from time to time. Loads of us do it. But 24 hours before one of my best mates' 30th birthday bash is not the time to be battering the bronzer.

I am in trouble… forgot to get a spray tan.

Now maybe this would not be so important if the spring had bothered to make an appearance, or if the sun had allowed me to dress without at least six layers of clothing.

Sadly, whatever sun there has been I must have missed while washing up. Anyway, the point is I cannot be seen in my backless cocktail dress without a bit of colouring in.

I send The Man to Boots. Mistake number one.

I love The Man and much as he has many strings to his bow, being any kind of fake tan connoisseur is sadly not one. So when he couldn't find my usual brand, he settled with fake tan simply written on the bottle. Considering it has taken me years to perfect the home tanning process, the last thing I need the night before a party is to play guinea pig. But as the only option to transform my body from milk bottle white to glowing bronze beauty is tan in a can, I have no choice.

Therein lies mistake number two. Giving in to desperation.

I prepare my skin by washing it. Hardly the usual exfoliating lark but it will have to do. I think.

I forget to moisturise (which any hardened tanner would be horrified by!) and go in for the kill. Blobbing out and slapping on as much of the stuff as I can. Paleness to Perfection. Off to bed I waddle.

Morning of the party arrives. I of course have forgotten about the previous nights bronzing. It's only once out of the shower I realise the extent of my tanning faux pas. Using a white towel to dry myself I notice my feet. Working my gaze up to my knees, the blood drains from my face but funnily enough, not the colour.

I've gone from ultra peaky to mega streaky. Neither a look that I was attempting.

I have also somehow missed on the instructions (obviously did not read) the longer the lotion is left on the darker the tone. Fantastic. I resemble a badly varnished fence post patchily shimmering in the sun. Yum.

A frenzied scrubbing attack takes place over the next hour. Leaves me not only still looking like a grubby mess but with added sore patches of red to compliment the damaged look.

I spend the evening dancing with my back brushing the wall and only standing still in the darkest corners.

If I thought going pale was a fail, going brown sure has let me down.

Tan from a can? I will be sticking to a tan ban.
