Our local community businesses and the safety of our roads must take priority over corporate profit.

Laura and I were very disappointed to learn yesterday that Asda are appealing the refusal of their planning application for a new store on Marple Road.

Our local community businesses and the safety of our roads must take priority over corporate profit.

We have confirmed with the planning team that they will be robustly defending the original refusal. Everyone who objected to this application (over 1,300 of you) will be receiving a letter explaining how you can add to your objection.

Please keep an eye out for that letter. If you objected the first time, your voice matters just as much now.

We will continue to fight against this application.

Laura and Jon

Councillor Laura Clingan, Manor Ward
