Morrisons pass on leasehold interest at Kingsmead.

[alphagamma]

They even gritted it a few days ago.

Ridiculous. This should be in the national press.

 

[proactive]

CC highways don't grit private land.

My bad

Must be some other idiots then...

 

[Woody38]

Such angst over a bloody car park lol!

Yes there is u little f...... its Christmas the busiest time & there's nowhere to park

 

[ATJ]

Maybe it's a developer's condition that they have to fulfill... despite apparently not having to fulfill any promise to open the car park!

 

[basil]

The ultimate owners are probably unaware of any issues with this, however any comments should be forwarded to
Ug House ........

"We will be contacting Triple Jersey Limited at the earliest opportunity because our main concern as a council is to get the car park opened as soon as possible.”

SBC spokesperson on 24th August

Glad to see they were so successful it getting it open for Christmas and help the traders at that end of town.

It's private land isn't it? The council shouldn't have sold it off if it's needed for general town parking.

This council are idiots. See pound signs, line their pockets, and then expect control over land they don't own. Bunch of d*ckheads!

 

[1JKz]

Any latest?

 

[alphagamma]

Yes. The car park is gritted for the safety of the security bloke.

I'd have thought he would welcome having a bit of a slide as a break from the tedium of having nothing to do, ever!

 

[John Marwood]

Ridiculous. This should be in the national press.

Has Trump shat on it then?

 

[Gramaisc]

Has the filling station idea been abandoned?

I thought his preference was to be the shatee not the shater.

Morrisons sold it to investors.
The investors want to split it into 3 shops.
Planning permission told the investors "The car park is too big for 3 smaller units" and blocked it.
Investors refuse to open car park (their land) until planning permission situation is resolved.

Local People innit

I think Morrison's actually sold back to the developers, they just have a different name

 

[Dabbler]

Thought that planning permission to split the large unit into 3 smaller units had been approved by the borough council....

Nah, they had applied for it, but it was declined.

I know this is the post truth era, but was there anything in Frontal's post that was accurate?

Planning permission has been approved for both the internal and external modifications to the building:
