Dear Sir,
1) Why has the new Timpson’s outlet been placed directly on what is the main access/egress route between Tesco’s and Newton Aycliffe town centre? It does not make any sense!
2) It must be a problem for disabled customers and those with limited mobility. Has a risk assessment been done and is there a copy we can see?
3) Three parent and toddler parking spaces have been moved from near the store entrance, is that wise?
4) Was planning permission obtained for this development, or has Durham Planning Department been informed as to the change of circumstances of the original planning permission for the store?
5) When I was talking to the store manager on Sunday another member of staff joined us and said that the position of Timpson’s was not the original one chosen, is that right? Where was it supposed to be? I could think of at least three or four better positions for it.
6) Also while at the store on Sunday I noticed that the trolley park near the store entrance had been moved, the Tesco member of staff who was bringing back a linked set of trollies was having a real job getting them into position and had to block the store entrance to swing them round into line!
