Aldi has hit out at Sefton Council over a proposed development in a Merseyside town.
Aldi first revealed plans for the multi-million-pound store in January as the discount supermarket launched a consultation with local residents about the scheme, at Moss Side in east Formby. The supermarket wanted to take over a former garden centre site close to the Formby bypass, revealing plans that could fill a gap for discount food provision in the area.
Aldi has now hit out at Sefton Council after "withholding their support" of the development. Britain’s fifth-largest supermarket claims the proposed scheme will "breath new life" into Formby.
