Extra hours bid for shopping at Lidl

A SUPERMARKET could trade for an extra six hours a week, if a variation to its planning permission is approved.
Lidl have applied to extend opening hours at their Treorchy store.
Rhondda councillors will vote on their proposal this week.
In a report before the 26-member planning committee, RCT chief legal officer Paul Lucas says the store, on the town's Caemawr Industrial Estate, is currently open from 8am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday.

The branch was granted planning permission in September 2008 on this basis.
Mr Lucas writes that they are now seeking to extend trading by one hour a day.
The 10am-4pm hours, which currently apply there on Sundays and bank holidays, would be unchanged.
The planning department have received one letter, objecting to the bid.
Mr Lucas summarises it by saying: "Since the store has opened, many complaints have been made to the council over lighting from the store and noise - particularly from delivery lorries, which run their engines continually while loading and unloading.
"The store has, in the past, and still takes deliveries outside their agreed delivery times, and attracts large quantities of young people who hand around in the car park, causing noise and disruption."
