Lidl says that it is still committed to opening a new store in Carryduff despite a lack of development work.
Plans were approved in 2021 for a new £6.5million state-of-the-art store at the site of the former Carryduff Shopping Centre, with it being reported that Lidl had set a target to open the development by mid-2022.
It would create 35 new permanent jobs with Lidl as well as supporting 250 more indirectly through the development and construction phases.
