Civic society raises concerns over Oswestry Morrison's store access
Oswestry's civic society has raised concerns about pedestrian and public transport access to the site of the town's new Morrisons supermarket.
Earlier this year, after years of no answers, Morrisons announced it had drawn up a blueprint to build a new supermarket, petrol station and garden centre on the now derelict site in Shrewsbury road.
It comes after plans to build a cinema and restaurants on the site collapsed.
Morrisons is now engaging with residents before it submits a planning application to Shropshire Council.
Oswestry and District Civic Society has sent a document to supermarket bosses, insisting it does not object to the application in principle, but raising concerns about access.
The society called for a travel plan to be drawn up, and walking, cycling and public transport links to be developed in the area.
It also wants the plans to have a positive contribution to the town, and at the moment, it believes the design does not.
David Ward, of the society said: "The building will be there for many years, and should make a positive contribution to the townscape. The layout proposed would not achieve that."
