A new Lidl will soon begin construction in a Nottinghamshire town despite opposition from a rival supermarket. Work can now start on a Lidl store on the grounds of Hucknall Town Football club on Watnall Road, Hucknall after Ashfield District Council granted planning permission on July 20.
The site is currently used by Hucknall Town Football Club, who are relocating to a new ground on Aerial Way close to their existing ground. Lidl have said the store will allow the club to relocate to an improved, expanded premise and improve the appearance of the area.
They 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". The proposed Hucknall store will benefit from wider aisles, baby changing facilities, longer tills, and a customer toilet.
