Their concerns will be heard at an upcoming hearing to decide whether the Bottle-O store at 436 Prestons Rd in Marshland should go ahead. Marshland School parents are against the plan, as the proposed store would only be 500m away from the school. “As a school we support the actions of our community members.”A date for the hearing has not been set.
