New Lidl Store on target

Councillor Sharon Ball and Local Activist Sarah Moore at Lidl Site

During our walk around Westmoreland at the weekend, Councillor Sharon Ball and I visited the Lidl site to check on progress.

As you can see windows and cladding have been put in, the boarding has been taken down and work is moving at a great pace and whilst talking with workers on the site we can confirm they are on target for their scheduled opening on Thursday 19th February.

Following the advice and assistance provided to Lidl to overcome difficult planning issues that were encountered, Councillors Sharon Ball and Paul Crossley have been asked to officially open the store at 8am on the day.

Proposed view along the High Street

We are pleased to see a planning application has been submitted on yet another derelict building within Westmoreland ward.  The site, 151-152 High Street, Twerton, was formally used as an office equipment supply business but has been derelict for over 5 years.

Plans have now been submitted to demolish the existing building and erect a property containing 9 x 1 bedroom flats with a small courtyard garden to the rear.

Your views are invited on this proposal with a deadline of 12th February 2015, full details can be found here on the BANES Website.
