The Conservative MP also said
the firm also has a “moral obligation” to begin work to extend The Dorridge
Practice promised as part of the Forest Court scheme.
Sainsbury’s CEO Justin King
last week said the plan – which got planning permission in November 2011 – will
not start “in the year ahead” because of poor economic conditions.
In a statement, Mrs Spelman
said: “I am just as fed up as other Dorridge residents that Sainsbury’s
regeneration of Forest
Court is
languishing in this way, leaving an eyesore for the village and a target for
vandalism.
“I have written to the
supermarket chain urging it to get on with the job they promised to do and seeking
an urgent meeting with the chief executive.
“Dorridge residents
reasonably expect Sainsbury’s to honour a moral obligation to provide the
Dorridge Practice that formed part of their successful planning application.”
