恼怒的居民占领提出的超级市场站点
兰卡斯特居民在Scotforth今晨移动了向理事会拥有的土地-
一个提出的超级市场的站点，被传言是Tesco’ s。 本机被冲击
由秘密移动在委员会的内阁廉价出售土地在Lawson桥梁，
A6。 他们的消息： 他们不会允许理事会廉价出售他们的镇
为什么他们称“躲躲闪闪的发展”。
Deirdre泥工说当地居民： “理事会也许爱Tesco的想法，
Centros米勒和Bailrigg科学园，但当地居民有关
about the threat to local businesses and the unique character of the city!
These developments will be the death of Lancaster. Time to say ENOUGH! to all
these sordid schemes. Let’s send a clear message to all these developers: they
are not welcome in our town.”
The occupation will last for 24 hours and will be followed by a protest outside
the Cabinet meeting tomorrow (Tuesday 9th Oct) at Lancaster Town Hall from
9.30am onwards.
Residents are concerned about the way the Council is selling off Lancaster
piecemeal, leading to a town crippled by gridlock, and having only “clone town”
shops that are to be found in any high street in the country. “The council is
blinkered when it comes to recognising the historical value of our town, the
vibrancy and high quality of the local traders.” says Stephen Dickinson of
Scotforth. “They sold off our market - it’s now half dead. Now they want to see
off the rest of the town centre with Centros Miller’s proposed monstrosity and
this mega supermarket in Scotforth. The time has come to say ‘Enough!’. It’s
time for our councillors to listen to us!”

Notes for the Editor:
1 The land threatened by supermarket development and currently under occupation
is near Lawson’s Bridge, between the railway line and the A6 (Scotforth Road).
Lancaster City Council owns about 5.5acres there, immediately to the south of
Ray’s Drive.
2 The land is currently rented to a farmer for use as pasture. It is also well
used by Scotforth residents for dog-walking and other kinds of recreation, and
there is a community woodland area at the northern end which is threatened by
the development.
3 Lancaster Council Cabinet will be discussing the proposed sale in their
Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, 9th October. The meeting takes place at Lancaster
Town Hall at 10am.
