Residents of Newcastle Great Park will finally have its own supermarket with the opening of a new Morrisons store.
Frustrated locals in the suburb have complained about the lack of shops on their mostly-empty high street with most having to travel to Kingston Park to get their amenities. But after more than a decade of waiting for a supermarket, the long overdue Morrisons store will open its doors on Thursday in a major boost for the area.
Representatives from both Morrisons and Persimmon Homes North East, the developers of Great Park, were at the store today, in order to have a look around and to take in the result of what has been years of hard work since the plans were approved in November of 2021.
