The whole deal will bring massive profits to Morrisons,will get the council off the hook by funding the new sports complex. As for the local area,it will bring grid lock at peak times to traffic in the oldchurch/waterloo rd rounderbout -will delay access ... more »

I don,t think that will help the shopkeepers in Hilldene and the local people who want to support them.

so how does this happen when in the recorder there is a story that says the council are cutting parking charges. Is this the usual case of robbing Peter to pay Paul or the councilors blatantly lying to us, I know what i think

Have to agree with the parking issue, if both pitches are in full use by adult teams you could have upwards of 30 cars trying to park there, at weekends that car park gets full up with anglers so they could be some big problems.   Knowing this council ... more »

Something like Streetlife where people can have their say is bound to get political now and again. What I feel is important is that people can get in touch and air their views on anything local and get a response from other people. People who for one ... more »
