Chadwick Street Foodstore
The chair's report on the proposed Chadwick street foodstore development included the following:
The development is being taken forward as a key priority
There is interest from retailers
One option being considered is for the Royal Mail remaining on the site
A new planning application may (or may not) be required
Further dialogue around the traffic schemes will be required.
The report raises more questions than it answers, for example,
what timescales do the council envisage for a "key priority"?
what sort of retailers are interested?
what criteria will be used to judge the options?
who decides if a new planning application will be required, bearing in mind that a planning consent is in place for a foodstore that includes a traffic scheme wholly unaceptable to the Civic Society and and everyone consulted by the Civic Society.
who will the "further dialogue" on traffic schemes be between?
The Civic Society has asked the council to commit to an independent study of the public realm in the town centre of which the traffic scheme would be an integral part of the design. This must include meaningful consultation with the people of Marple - nothing less will do.
