I would imagine that Lidl will be required to cover the issue of traffic congestion, traffic access and parking as part of their planning application. If they are required to take steps to mitigate against any traffic related problems as a consequence of their proposal, then that could well improve the situation, something unlikely to happen without such motivation. I suspect that never mind who takes over that site, the traffic situation will have to be addressed and it maybe that is going to be the only way that any changes are going to be made - the developer has to pay the costs to make the necessary changes!!!
