Meeting with Asda

An informal meeting was held yesterday with Alan Jones, Senior Property Communications Manager of Asda.
We discussed the following issues: Parking, Signage, Neighbourhood Planning and the Marple Town Centre Urban Design Study Project which started on Wednesday 13th May.

Parking Arrangements

2 hours free parking during which time shoppers are free to leave the car park - if you need extra time ask a member of Asda staff in the store 

No return within 2 hours 

Free unlimited parking after 7pm Monday - Saturday and outside of store trading hours on Sundays

As the car parking signs are not clear we agreed it would be beneficial to alter the wording which would help to clarify the parking arrangements.

Signage

The last signage planning application has been withdrawn and a new application submitted.

There will be a separate application for 3 of the larger signs which will require further discussion.

Marple Town Centre Urban Design Study

Asda have given their support for the Urban Design Study and offered to meet with us when appropriate.

Mr Jones is also happy to attend a meeting of civic society members and residents. If you would like to attend such a meeting please email us: mail@marplecivicsociety.org.uk
