Remember a short while back when I forecast problems with the new Lidl store on Eastern Avenue?
Well guess what? I was right.
Eastern Avenue was choc-a-bloc at various stages on opening day today with cars queued up from Trent Valley island as cars waited to get into the car park.
And to add to the problems, the under-sized car park (another forecast) meant there wasn’t enough room for those visiting the store.
Surely the issue of parking and the impact it will have on traffic in a key route around Lichfield should have been considered when planning was granted for the store?
I don’t imagine it will be long either until local residents complain as the side roads become rat-runs for people desperate to avoid the congestion caused by Lidl.
