Excited Hucknall residents have spoken of their "delight" after plans were approved to build a new Lidl on the grounds of the towns football club. Lidl will soon begin construction at Hucknall Football Club, in Watnall Road, after Ashfield District Council granted planning permission on July 20.
The football club will be relocating to a new ground on Aerial Way close to their existing ground. Lidl said the store will allow the club to relocate to an improved, expanded premise and improve the appearance of the area.
The retailer added the supermarket will "deliver improved economic opportunities without the loss of the existing sport facilities; and improve grocery choice and competition for residents of Hucknall".
