Coldstream Garden Supply is closing down as the landlord
will not renew a lease for the land. The
landlord is within his rights to do this but the previous governments have
locked up too much land as green wedge.
Martin had tried for years to re locate but because
there is NO LAND around Coldstream in the UGB he will be forced to shut down and dismiss his staff.
He employs about ten locals who will be looking for new
jobs. Tragic!
As you know the COLDSTREAM
2020 group has been trying to get the UGB expanded and this is one of
the reasons.
The sooner the better.
Comment: Tragic, so much land around but not for a garden supply!
