Petition supporting ASDA for Coalville handed in to Council.
Cllr Michael Wyatt hand delivered the ASDA petition to the council this week, which was signed by 1400 local people. The council initially refused to accept it but Cllr Wyatt was determined to make sure that the voice of local residents would not be ignored. The council then changed their mind and agreed to allow the petition to be submitted to the planning committee after Cllr Wyatt protested at their decision to snub the petition.
Michael said, “I think its an absolute disgrace that the Conservative Bosses at the council have tried to stop this petition being submitted supporting ASDA’s planning application. Once again the council have made a complete mess of allowing local people a say in local matters. Surely they must realise by now that they cannot ignore the wishes of the local residents. I only hope for their sake they pass this application, which will bring local jobs for local people to Coalville.”
