Looks like the campaign opposing Tesco’s plans for a superstore in Stirchley took my advice.
Here’s the Another Stirchley is Possible blog.

Another Stirchley is Possible is a local campaign opposing Tesco’s plan to build a superstore in Stirchley.
The campaigners, who aim to promote real, locally based regeneration for the area, are holding a public consultation:
Stirchley Community Centre
Saturday 12 July
10.00 – 14.00
to ask residents what developments they’d like to see in their neighbourhood.
They say:
“There are many reasons why we think that another Superstore in Stirchley is not needed:
-
Massive increase in traffic in already jammed Pershore Rd
-
Tesco’s buying power (4th largest retailer in the world) means it will force all other local retailers out of business
-
We want a Stirchley which will attract visitors and people to live here, not drive in, shop and drive out.”
They don’t appear to have a website (hey guys, set up a blog!) [Edited: they have:]

This is what Friends of The Earth say about the Tesco scheme.
And here is some detailed planning stuff from Tescopoly.
