Consent concerns
How can the council consider granting consent on a non-notified basis when a new supermarket on Takapau Road could have far-reaching effects?
On learning of this application, I contacted St John, Fire and Emergency and the medical centre and none had been contacted. These are essential services.
Pedestrians: On a fine day 10 per cent of Countdown’s customers did not drive to the supermarket. Great for their mental and physical health. Try telling them to cross Bogel Brothers Esplanade. This crossing states pedestrians must give way to traffic.
If Countdown moves its store we will have more cars in the main street waiting to cross the railway line and more poison [exhaust fumes] for pedestrians and shop owners.
This is now a health and safety issue.
Non-notified basis, like hell.
