Not to late to have your say - Aldi Oakhm

Local people are continuing to campaign for Rutland County Council to support the planning application that would see a Aldi store being built on wasteland, that has been allocated for employment land but left derelict for years and it is not too late to have you say and make your voice heard.


Simply by going on to the Rutland County Council website and filling in a simple on line form you can show your support for the plan. By clicking on this link, RCC Planning Online, you will be taken to the page shown above. On the page you just have to fill in the boxes with you name and address and some other details. The important bit is at the bottom where a drop down menu lets you add your support for the application and the box below that were you need to state your reasons for supporting the development.

According to the article that appeared today on the Rutland Times website, there was when they looked some "460 letters in support of Aldi and three objections" for the planned store. This represents some 99.4% of the comments being in favour of the store being built on the site near to lands End and the new petrol station. However it does just stop there as there is another way you can show your support.


On the change.org site Hayley Rose has set up a online petition to support the planning application, which you can get to by clicking on this link, Petition to Approve Aldi Supermarket plans in Oakham. All you have to do this time is time is enter your details in the box on the right of the screen and then click the sign box and you are almost done as you might get a confirmation email which you just have to quickly look at and follow a link to make sure your a human being.

Please help out if you want a Aldi in Oakham, tell your friends on Twitter and Facebook and get those that are local to the town to do the same. Get them to go on the Rutland Council Website and sign the petition and make as much noise as they can on social media. Make sure people know that they could lose a valuable asset that will make Oakham a more affordable place to shop. Hayley is trying to get a thousand people to sign the petition and I sure we get those and a few more.
