SO that's it then, our spineless, arrogant and uncaring council has finally capitulated to Lidl.

Our councillors obviously do not care about the residents and traders or the appearance of Malvern Link, the gateway to our picturesque town.

Do they realise Mr Falcon's 810 named petition are potential voters, or are they that arrogant that they think we will have forgotten by the time the next local elections come around? Just wait!

It's a real possibility the once this store is up and running, Kwik Save and/or Co-op will go, then there will be another derelict building to join the already 'scruffy' appearance of the Link, with its half finished mural, that would be more at home on a wall in Belfast or Derry, and the dried up fountain area that has become a deposal point for take away food and pizza containers.

Why can't our councillors get it into their thick heads that we do not want another supermarket in Malvern.
