Calahonda   11 #145 Posted July 14, 2018 M&S Food will be handy on occasions, and the Aldi store will free up space in Archer Road and Dronfield, I will use Norton to suit me, such as when I access it from Coal Aston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Calahonda   11 #148 Posted July 14, 2018 Could get quite a few flats and houses into that park. Would be a better use of the land. Perfect location close to town.  I would much prefer that the existing units be used to create jobs, which IMHO is a far better use of the land. Why tear down perfectly good units to build housing, when there are alternatives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bassett one   451 #150 Posted July 16, 2018 yes but its handy to have a retail park at Norton and re-aldi as its such a awfull store some claim,how come its the fastest growing retail food operator in England,if it was no good there wouldn't be such queues to buy there goods and they wouldn't win lots of awards and why so many expensive cars in there car parks if its only used by low end customers,also have you seen there top of the range goods at half price.so if you want quality I suggest you call in and look for yourself.

solarman   10 #153 Posted July 16, 2018 Popped in for the first time today to have a look, not bad  BUT  Getting in and out...............  What were they thinking  One road in to a t junction, really bad, supprised to say it needs a roundabout inside with filter roads to the various quarters of the site  That junction is going to be the main problem for the life of that site and its going to put people off going  After that I went to crystal peaks, much easier to get in and out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
WarPig   78 #154 Posted July 17, 2018  BUT  Getting in and out...............  What were they thinking  One road in to a t junction, really bad,  That junction did surprise me when I saw it being built, a very poor idea. But I assume it gives the longest stretch of access road possible to allow as many cars as possible to get off the main road and into the park?

bassett one   451 #155 Posted July 17, 2018 I don't think theres enough parking space,especially once aldi opens it will be a no go area at times,i think parking will let it down,plus all them big mercs going in aldi that's have the parking taken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Pyrotequila   402 #156 Posted July 22, 2018 Just decided to pop over to have a look now the Pets at Home is open.... Big mistake! Massive queue from the roundabout in both directions to get into the car park, people turning away before they'd even got in... We did the same, not worth the wait in the traffic. If that's how it's going to be at the weekends it's going to cause a lot of issues and quite a few lost sales for the shops as people will go elsewhere.
