West Sussex County Council has accused Tesco of ignoring dangers caused by trucks delivering to its Express stores in Bognor Regis and Pagham.
Councillors say lives are being endangered as delivery vehicles are not using the loading bays provided, but blocking roads, forcing single line traffic.
"I have visited several local committees around Sussex and it is amazing how often the name Tesco comes up relating to causing traffic obstruction and possibly causing danger on the roads,"
says West Sussex County Council deputy leader Mike Coleman, who is frustrated by Tesco's lack of response after attempts have been made locally to engage the company in resolving the problem.
A spokesman for Tesco says if loading bays are available it is confident they will be used.
