haddy   10 #13 Posted July 5, 2018 It's Lidl planning on building. Crazy idea as the area is already busy and adding more traffic to a already congested area is silly. There is alternative shops from this brand that can be easily got to if people wish to shop there. It will also have a detrimental effect on the surround area shops with the possibility of more closed units and boarded up shops. The plan should be rejected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The plan should be rejected  Plan should be accepted, it'll be good for the locals that don't have cars and will be useful for Hillsborough locals, especially when they demolish parts of the Hillsborough exchange shopping centre.  As for shops plenty of charities, nail bars etc cashing in on the empty units..... Far foods prime example rent increased and they shut up shop, now to be a Sue Ryder. Its business rates and high rents that are shutting shops down not competing store, the council are bleeding them dry.  ---------- Post added 05-07-2018 at 11:06 ----------  That hasn’t happened anywhere else where a Lidl has been built, so why would it happen here?

For a non car owner, Hillsborough resident Sainsbury's is not an option whereas as LIdil on the tram route would be ideal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #19 Posted July 6, 2018 I think you would have to live on or near Stannington Road to realise what the problems would be. Nimbys we certainly are not!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â I agree, Stannington road in the mornings is horrendous, on occasions queuing right up to Stanwood Ave but the bottle neck is at the bottom where the Gas Club is, where the road joins Holme Lane and the rest of the off shoots.

jaffa1 Â Â 10 #22 Posted July 6, 2018 So before the store opens? Â Supermarkets open early and Malins Bridge morning chaos can last upto 9.45am, try it sometime get amongst the school run. Then you have the same experience late afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hook   10 #23 Posted July 7, 2018 Supermarkets open early and Malins Bridge morning chaos can last upto 9.45am, try it sometime get amongst the school run. Then you have the same experience late afternoon.  Lidl stores open at 8 at the earliest, very few people go shopping then. It tends to be passing traffic dropping in, rather than people heading there as a destination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
