This is one of ten questions posed to Lidl about their proposal to build a new supermarket on the site of The Orchard at our special public meeting on 17 March 2025.
The site is not near the main transport hub at Ruislip station where all of the bus routes stop. Three local buses serve Ickenham Road: the U1 (not U2!), 278 and E7. Many parts of Ruislip will not be on a direct bus route. The corner of the site at the junction of Sharps Lane and Ickenham Road is proposed to be reopened for a pedestrian entrance – but this entry point was closed by Beefeater many years ago as it was so dangerous.
- What proportion of customers are assumed to arrive by car, public transport, bike or walk?
- How do you intend to make the access to the site safe for pedestrians and cyclists?
- How do you intend to provide a safe crossing to the bus stop on the other side of the road where the pavement is very narrow and has no space for a bus stand?
