Breaking News | Lidl to Hold Public Meeting at Three Counties Hotel on Wednesday 11th May

[Hereford Voice]

Lidl are to hold a Public Meeting at Three Counties Hotel on Wednesday 11th May 12:00noon - 19:00

Further to our previous breaking news article here https://hfd.news/bgq regarding the Lidl supermarket planning application to demolish the Three Counties Hotel and change it into a supermarket and immediate backlash this has caused this meeting was inevitable.

Lidl have also confirmed that they plan to have a dedicated website and we will advise once this becomes live.

It is important that anyone with objections to this planning application, send in their individual letters (can be done on the Herefordshire Council planning portal) outlining their concerns and objections based on planning law ie, traffic, local disturbance, noise levels etc.

You can also sign our Petition https://chng.it/bWYtFHb78S

Pitchforks at the ready everyone.

They took away the Vortex youth club, then demolished the local church, There was talk of a community centre to be built as part of the Keepmoat Oval development a few years ago, but nothing. All this development is corporate vandalism and all the authorities are in it together. There was talk of the Council building a new care home in the county and this with its 60 bedrooms would be a more worthwhile project. We don't need all this blight.

This is probably one of the most stupid planning application I have seen locally. Can you imagine trying to get out onto the Belmont Rd! This should be be refused. Surely the hotel is not that old, think it was only built in the 70's or 80's

Sounds like a plan to me 🙂

 

[H.Wilson]

Most stupid idea I have heard in a long time, I sincerely hope that this is not approved. 

[megilleland]

I have been told there will be a special meeting to discuss this application at Belmont Parish Council, Kindle Centre on the Thursday 5th May 2022 at 7.30pm. I hope it will be well attended.
