Formby could soon have a new Aldi after plans were submitted to Sefton Council for approval.
Aldi first revealed plans for the multi-million pound store in January as the discount supermarket launched a consultation with local residents about the scheme, at Moss Side in east Formby.
The supermarket wanted to take over a former garden centre site close to the Formby bypass, revealing plans that could bring 40 new jobs and fill a gap for discount food provision in the area.
