LIDL'S NEW STORE VERY WELCOME

An artist's impression/drawings of Lidl's new store, off Atherton Way, Brigg, are now on display in the current premises, off Spring's Parade, and creating plenty of interest among customers. They show almost 100 car parking spaces.
If you are trying to visualise the new store's location, it's very close to the Ancholme Way roundabout, near to what was Carefield's factory.
Planning permission will be required from North Lincolnshire Council, but we can't see that proving a problem.
Tomorrow (Wed), from 12.30pm to 6pm, Lidl will be holding a public open day for the new store, in Brigg's Angel Suite, off Market Place, where more information is expected to be made available to interested customers.
Lidl's new store announcement is the first part of the major retail story we forecast was on the cards. Phases two and three are expected to follow very shortly and Lidl's won't be the only big player mentioned when it all comes into the public domain.
I count myself a loyal and long-standing customer of Lidl and look forward to finding out how much bigger this store is going to be and what it will be stocking the current one doesn't. If you are a mere middle-aged man shopping for two of three items and not keen on the family checkout frenzy, Lidl has many advantages.

Seems you have chosen your words carefully, Nige.
'Major retail story' and 'Phase 2 and 3 to follow' eh?
Talking about 'phases', the site geophysic site engineers, called, 'Phase' have finished their survey.
The last two engineers (one a young lady) were leaving Tesco at 5.30pmish today carrying pumpkins.
B4 they jumped into their van, I asked them about their work. They indicated that they didn't know Tesco's actual plans for he site, but the extent and deph of the work that the team have been detailed to undertake of usually represents a major development.

For general interest, I also enquired wot the coloured markings about the Tesco site and beyond mean.

Blue symbols - water/drains,
Red - electrical - mains,
Yellow - cables - unspecified/secondary/unidentified,
Green - gas
White - unidentified matallic object below the surface.

I've seen an artist's impression of the proposed Lidl's store - very impressive.
