FOOD FOR THOUGHT: NEW ALDI BRIGG STORE UPDATE


The new Aldi store -  under construction in Brigg - has already been earmarked for a routine food hygiene inspection by North Lincolnshire Council when it opens.
The structure of the store building is complete and the 'bellmouth' entrance/exit from Bridge Street has been installed, but work continues on and near the site, as these recent pictures show.
The international discount retailer has yet to announce an opening date.
 




Routine food hygiene inspections of business premises in Brigg and district appear to have been put on hold during the Coronavirus emergency lockdown period.
There have been no monthly inspection ratings announced by North Lincolnshire Council or West Lindsey District Council, via the Food Standards Agency, since late April.
Among outlets whose star ratings is to be made public once normal service resumes is the Sweet Shop at 63b High Street, Broughton, and the Whistle & Flute pub/restaurant, on Railway Street, Barnetby.
Looking further ahead, the council will also been grading the proposed new Lincolnshire Co-op food store on Victoria Road, Barnetby, for which planning approval has been granted.





Although the Aldi store is in Brigg, it will be very convenient for Waters Edge housing estate residents on the other side of Cake Mills Bridge. They are all Broughton parish residents, as the road sign pictured below informs people passing by on the A18.
There will be crossing points for shopper/pedestrians on this busy main road.
The latest UK store date to be issued by Aldi is July 16 when one will open on Gascoyne Way, Hertford.
