Better Wetherby said they had been contacted by many people concerned about the plans
.
Chair of Better Wetherby, Roger Owen, said “It is significant that in July 2012, Leeds Planning Authority refused an application by Sainburys to demolish the Mercure Hotel and replace it with a supermarket.
The SAP states that this particular site is suitable for older persons housing/independent living if the hotel is to go. Mr Owen added “Better Wetherby strongly oppose the Lidl proposal. It is clear to my colleagues and I that the impact of a large new store built at this important gateway to the town, will be considerable, as noted in 2012. It will undoubtedly have profound and negative consequences for Wetherby, especially on our excellent local shops.
