Please find below a link to our stand-alone web-site providing details of our proposal.

We are holding consultation days to meet the local community on the 17th to 20th February 3pm to 7pm at the proposed site (the old B&Q, 248 Easter Road).

Local residents will also be receiving information brochures delivered via Royal Mail outlining our proposals.

Please feel free to come along or pass this information onto anyone who may be interested in the proposed development.

There is also a stand-alone email account that allows residents etc to contact Lidl Property directly should they wish: easter.road@lidl.co.uk

Kind Regards,

LCCC response to TRO/13/51 (Pilrig Street to Duke Street)

We write to comment on the above TRO. While we regret the length of time it has taken for the overall process to reach this stage (process started June 2011 – 2.5 years ago!), we are broadly in favour of the proposed regulation, in the knowledge that a number of details may require adjustment in a future, separate process, in particular the option of locating a number of the communal bins in suitable side streets.

We endorse the aim of the TRO provided in the Statement of Reasons, subject to a review following implementation.

We urge the Council to proceed with the physical implementation at the earliest opportunity in the expectation that there are robust processes in place to monitor progress and quality.
