Committee Meeting Minutes 30th July 2013

A committee meeting followed by a speaker meeting was held in Marple Library on 30th July 2013. Unfortunately our speaker, Harry Smith, was unable to attend. However Andy Tinsey presented a summary of Harry's report on his study of supermarkets.

A discussion followed on the Chadwick Street car park foodstore development and its wider impact on Marple town.  Those present were not aware of the planned traffic management scheme and like others we have spoken to did not approve of it and supported the society's view that an independent public realm study should be carried out.  This is an opportunity to make Marple not just a car friendly town but a people friendly town, too.
