A retired nurse is shocked at the size of a new supermarket and DIY store being build behind her home. For the past 11 years Mandy Mulligan has lived on Circuit Drive, Long Eaton, and says she thoroughly enjoyed her garden.
However, the size of a new Lidl supermarket and Wickes DIY store being built on land off Nottingham Road and Springfield Avenue means that her garden will be deprived of sun and warmth for most of the day. The 57-year-old explained that a series of small industrial units had sat on the previous Stadium Retail Park for years until they were cleared, but that they were barely visible from her garden.
Ms Mulligan said she believed the new buildings would be around the same height as the former ones, but is frustrated to learn they are much larger and can clearly be seen from her home. When plans were discussed in 2019, she objected to the "intrusive" plans, reports Derbyshire Live.
