PHILIP Dunne MP is undertaking a survey to find out about how people feel about a proposed new supermarket and petrol station on the edge of town.

He has been involved in discussions with a traders group from Ludlow to consider how to oppose the development off the A49.

He met campaign co-ordinator Tish Dockerty to discuss how the independent action group plans to campaign to preserve the vitality of Ludlow town centre against the development of another supermarket at Rocks Green.

“I had a positive meeting with Keep Ludlow Local’s Tish Dockerty and we have agreed to work together to help Ludlow town retain its vibrant retail offer,” said Mr Dunne.

He added that the results of the survey will be available in the coming weeks.

“The meeting with Phillip Dunne was extremely useful, his knowledge and experience were informative and credible,” said Ms Dockerty.

“I have fed back his ideas to the ‘Keep Ludlow Local’ campaign group and we will be adopting a number of his ideas,” Philip Dunne.
