Campaigners organising a petition to be presented to parliament in a bid to save the Leek roundabout have raised 3,000 signatures in one week.
As part of Sainsbury's plan to redevelop the Churnet Works site off the Macclesfield Rd, the town road network will undergo major restructuring.
This involves the roundabout in front of the Nicholson War Memorial, being demolished and replaced with traffic lights.
Campaigners hope to raise the 8,000 signatures which will then be given to Moorlands Karen Bradley eMP to present to Parliament..
Almost 25 years ago the then MP Sir David Knox presented a petition to Parliament calling for enquiries into proposals by Dixon Properties and the Moorland Council to redevelop the town. Following the petition junior minister William Wadergrave ordered a public enquiry.
However the property developers walked away before the enquiry was started.
