Lidl keeps the Lid on Our Porter Brook

We the undersigned call on Lidl Supermarkets to change their proposal for a new store on Eyre Street, Sheffield to:
a. acknowledge and include the exposed Porter Brook within their site boundary and submit proposals for its restoration
b. uncover and restore the hidden Porter where it runs under their car park
c. include signage and interpretation for the Porter Brook Trail

Why is this important?

Lidl’s planning application for the old Staples site trashes hopes for opening up and greening the hidden river corridor from Sheffield’s Midland Station to Endcliffe Park.

The Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust are objecting to their application 22/01163/FUL to develop another food supermarket opposite Aldi on St Mary’s Gate. Lidl are using their retail power to ignore their sadly neglected reach of the historic Brook where the Vulcan Forge once hammered away day and night.
