Mrs Jill Clark, 52, of Westbourne Road, Llandaff North, works in Lew&#8217;s Coffee shop . She said: &#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely fantastic. It&#8217;s just what this little village needs.&#8221;<br \/>\nShe added that a new supermarket would save elderly residents from walking to Whitchurch while providing a cheaper alternative to the Cooperative supermarkets on the high streets in both towns.<br \/>\nWhile Lidl declined to comment, Mark James, managing director of the garage operation said that the store would be a good thing for the area.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a perfect demographic fit, it will really bring up the town.\u201d He said.<br \/>\nThough Lidl declined give details of the site, Mr James said the store would be relatively large and include at least 80 car park spaces.<br \/>\nHe also added that the plot running from 31-37 Station Road had attracted the interest of multiple parties, including two other supermarket chains, a property developer and a care home.<br \/>\nA public meeting on the issue is scheduled to be held in March.<br \/>\n[socialpoll id=&#8221;2187303&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Neighbours of a proposed Lidl Supermarket in Llandaff North have submitted a petition to protest against the plan.
