Supermarket plans back on agenda
(November 08, 2009)The owners Warminster Three Horsehoe's Mall have once again
returned from the drawing board to submit their ideas for expanding
their investment.
On Monday night the town council will be the first public civic
body to air views on the proposals from Stockland who own the mall as they move from their tentative outine idea to
submit a detailed proposal.
(The decision will be taken by Wiltshire Council planning committee members).
The local community, including civic leaders, commented that they
appeared to be in a race with the plans for the Dents site in Fairfield
Road.
Stockland would like to add a new supermarket area to their
existing portfolio and once again suggest a new site to replace the
existing and highly popular library which houses the Dewey Museum.
The nearby Tourist Information building which was opened by
Princess Anne as the last major capital investment in the town by the
now defunct District Council will also be replaced at that site.
"These plans can easily be viewed by popping into the town council offices at Dewey House in North Row," says Paul Macdonald.
"It is important that we get this right and the thing I have
always appreciated about our town is the wealth of knowledge and
commonsense in our community.
"I hope they will have the final say."
The town council meeting will also have their chance to comment on
the plans that stirred much public comment for the garage area at
Alcock Crest submitted by the West Wiltshire Housing Society
