Plans for an Aldi store could finally be approved next week - more than three years after planning permission was first sought.
Plans were first submitted to build the supermarket in Skelmersdale, adding to the one the chain already operates in the Concourse Shopping Centre in 2019. The plans were modified in January 2022 but have so far gone without an answer.
In 2020 the building that Aldi wanted to demolish - former Co-operative offices - was burned down in an arson attack and the culprits were identified and prosecuted.
