Warehouse plan goes public
Date published: 14 July 2008
MEMBERS of the public eager to learn about the possible impact of huge expansion plans at Shaw-based Fulfilment Logistics flocked to a public consultation.
Moves by the home shopping giant to build a large warehouse and three storey car park at its Lilac and and Briar Mill base, off Beal Lane, have proved hugely controversial, with more than 30 members of the public speaking out against the proposals at a recent meeting.
The firm, a mail order business owned by JD Williams, says it has outgrown the site and needs to expand to secure the jobs of the 1,000 strong workforce.
Bosses at the firm created an exhibition and invited members of the public to take a look at detailed plans at the Beal Lane site on Friday and Saturday.
The plans are expected to go before Oldham planning committee in the next few months
