Lidl is planning to open a new supermarket on the site of an industrial works in Stockport. The budget retailer has submitted proposals to demolish Cheadle Heath Works - currently home to a printing firm and a joiners - to make way for another supermarket in the area.
The company told the Local Democracy Reporting Service, it was unable to disclose any further details at this time - but confirmed the store would be ‘in addition’ to its nearby branch at Councillor Lane, in Cheadle Hulme. Cheadle Heath Works is based on Stockport Road - a key route for drivers making their way towards the M60 in both directions.
A Morrisons, Aldi and a B&M are close by, while there are also plans to convert the old Farmers Arms pub into a drive-thru Greggs. New jobs and more affordable goods would undoubtedly be a boost for the area, but there are already concerns over increased congestion on the busy stretch.
