It was outrageous that the trees in parade st. were felled and now trees at the new Factory site at Climedw have been felled.. more should be planted to hide the awful blot on the landscape. would it have been more pleasing to the eye to have had the front facing the road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125418539113091547.post-59634717268428631992014-12-01T09:58:32.714+00:002014-12-01T09:58:32.714+00:00The problem is not so much with Sainsbury's b...The problem is not so much with Sainsbury's but with the way Denbighshire has handled the planning permissions. The original store was presented as a pre-packed food store only and no café was mentioned. At the public display of plans the developers reassured people there would not be any fresh food counters and only a small café,if any, as the store was too small. Since then permission has been given for a café two thirds the size of the one in the Wrexham Sainsbury's and two food counters. Sainsbury's have since expanded these food counters to five which are in direct competition to similar small local businesses. The only reason they want the café is to capture the passing trade on which Llangollen relies for present and future visits to the town. There is no café in Sainsbury's Oswestry, Tesco Ruthin or Tesco in Cefn Mawr. The majority of the population in Llangollen lives at the other end of the town and it is too far to walk there and back carrying heavy shopping, so it will be necessary to use cars, increasing the traffic on the A5. When the supermarket was first envisaged there was no Tesco in Cefn and no Stans. Yes, there will be jobs for local people but how many local businesses will perish?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
