Though we appreciate the need for an alternative supermarket in Alton, we believe the Coors site is inappropriate for the following reasons – if you agree with
any or all of these points the time to act is NOW, don’t wait until it’s too late!
- Relocating the sports facilities from Coors into Anstey Park will take away free public open space in favor of fenced and gated members only areas, access roads and clubhouses.
- The superstore would fall between historic listed buildings in a wholly residential area.
- It would create an unmanageable increase in traffic, including heavy goods vehicles, within a limited road layout, restricting general access to
and from town.
- The resulting danger for pupils and parents at numerous nearby schools, including Treloar’s, Eggar’s and Mayfield House Nursery.
- The threat to local business from a superstore stocking food, drink, electricals, homeware, clothes, shoes, a cafe etc, on route into the town proper, plus additional licensed clubhouses in the park appropriating pub and event venue trade.
