Long awaited plans for a new Lidl store in the heart of Alexandria have taken a further step forward, with Scottish Water and Historic Environment Scotland both giving the proposals the green light.
The supermarket giant has been targeting a move to the Vale for almost a decade, with proposals taking a major step forward in November as they applied for planning permission.
If approved, the new store would feature a 1,251m sales area “that represents a multi-million pound investment in Alexandria” according to chiefs. It would create around 40 new jobs and would also feature facilities including an instore bakery.
