PETITION ON MELTON ROAD RETAIL OUTLET IN LEICESTER

Early day motion 1265, tabled 12 January 2011 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 1 member.

That this House expresses concern over plans to turn a tyre centre on Melton Road, Leicester into a chain retail outlet; notes that the plans have met with strong local opposition; further notes that over 900 residents and local business owners have signed a petition against the plans; recognises the impact a chain retail outlet could have on thriving local businesses and traffic congestion, particularly considering the close proximity to a nearby chain retail outlet; and calls on the Government to encourage councils to take into account local views on new chain stores and to support local businesses in Leicester.
