NEW ALDI STORE PLANNED FOR BRIGG GAINS TOWN COUNCIL SUPPORT

Revised plans to build a new Aldi store in Brigg successfully passed through the first stage in the planning process on Monday night (November 26, 2018).
Consulted on the proposals from the international retailer, Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee decided it was "in support" of the application.
The next stage will see the scheme considered by North Lincolnshire Council, the local planning authority, which has the final say.
Two years ago, Aldi was given the go ahead for a new store on Bridge Street without building work getting under way.
Aldi has now submitted revised plans to increase the retail floor space of the store and amend the landscaping scheme.
Chairing the latest meeting of the Planning & Environment Committee in the Angel Suite, Coun Mike Storey said Aldi wanted to make the store slightly larger. He did not see any problem with the amended landscaping scheme.
Coun Ann Eardley hoped a pedestrian crossing might be considered to help shoppers to cross busy Bridge Street.
N.F. ADDS: Currently, the nearest traffic islands for people on foot are near the the entrance to the Waters Edge housing estate and close to the Yarborough Hunt pub. Bridge Street does not have a pelican crossing or a zebra crossing.
PICTURED: A public notice about Aldi's amended store plan fixed to a post near the site that is earmarked for the development on Bridge Street, Brigg, beside the A18.
