Madam, Thank you for publishing last week the news that Tesco's have now submitted their planning application to build a Ross store.

I would like to urge your readers, whatever their views, for or against, to submit their views to Herefordshire Council planning department during the consultation.

It is also important to get your views to Ross Town Council's Planning committee, whilst the decision is made at Herefordshire Council planning committee, Ross TC is a statutory consultee and when they have voted their view will be made known to the councillors on Herefordshire Council planning committee and will help them form their view.

Please get your views in to both councils it is extremely important to have your say. The closing date to make submissions to the Town Council is the 3rd of September.

Many thanks.

Cllr Andrew Atkinson

Ross-on-Wye East Ward
