I note that the Lidl Property manager, Ian Lawrence, is pleased with the result of the latest planning consent at Malvern Link.

He mentions the six years of dereliction of their site on Worcester Road and I ask myself, "What did they do to remedy it? Was it deliberate policy to allow the site to be 'derelict'?"

Let us hope the building of the store and houses will be better managed and that Lidl will be "good neighbours" keeping to the agreed plans for the site.
