I see the description doesn't mention it needs a new roof (has done since it was presto) and the whole place is riddled with damp |

Funny how life changes. The owner of the land so i have heard is in ill health. Talks have been on going with a number of domestic and commercial companies. One day very soon and all at once Featherstone could be over run with choice. Lidle and Netto looks to be getting in to full supermarket war. A planning application for a Lidle sign on the Mode Tex front was due to be passed this week. It will be interesting to see what that says.  |

Until I saw a supermarket war I would not believe the extent some companies would go. Looks like some announcements this week. |

Looks like eating my words over Neto coming to the Modetex site. Lidle look set to complete a deal shortly.
notice the modetex site and not somewhere else for Neto;)

The saga continues.
Lidle have apparently withdrawn their planning application on the Mode-tex site.
Did they really wont it?
A good question is what will Tricket do. He was the one who announced that Lidle would open in January 2010. Don’t think so John. Perhaps that is why our glorious M.P. has been madly calling departments in WMDC to find out what is going on. Must be a buggar when a genuine supermarket chain is now showing interest in another site to put the final nail in Trickets bullshits coffin.
How will Helen Beardsmore at the Pont + Cas print that one and in who’s name?

Must have been a low news story week and to much time spent Christmas shoping as poor old Helen Beardmore has been scraping the barrel on page 4 of this weeks Pont + Cas regards a Fev supermarket. It’s a pity she didn’t take of her blinkers. In the nicest way possible the people she asked have not got a clue as to why there has been a 3 year wait.
As stated Lidle have pulled their planning application. What is strange and unreported is that the WMDC highways report that condemned the Lidle plans has been over ruled. Why would Lidle pull out when the path has been cleared and they state they will spend £350k improving the junction? It should be a good addition to the history as events unfold. I wouldn’t wonder the £350k improvent to the junction is a £350k statue.
As for the old Kwiksave site it could have been up and running by now. The blame can be only given to WMDC for simply described “blundering”.

Oh how the plot thickens.
Didn’t Tricket say a supermarket will open on the Modetex site by spring 2010? That will have been part of his party’s campaign of lies we assume?
From the amount of activity at Modetex from a large number of labour party members in and out you would think that the labour party was building a supermarket by hand. This week they could have just been helping the fire service to put out a deliberate fire started by the owners.
An interesting question is a new amount of labour posters in windows next to and opposite Modetex. Wonder what lies they have been told? They must have missed the 3 highways surveys for 3 amended plans that highways still will not condone as possible to wmdc planning. Highways confirmed today they cannot pass a plan without taking peoples land or homes for the Lidle plan so why are these people voting to condem themselves?

I still think it's a stupid place for a supermarket, of the two possible entrances, one is on the verge of a busy crossroads and the other on a narrow residential street. The old pop factory site would have been a far better venue

It’s a good question which site is better. The pop factory site does have better access all round but is slightly out of the town centre trail. The Modetex site does not fit the bill when you look at the Lidle plans. Nettos plan does even with their first attempt. It would be a shame if politics and greed give Featherstone another sows ear.  |
