Lidl has been given planning permission for a store off Southampton Rd, opposite Staples on the J.C Dean site.

About 50 letters in support were received at the Planning department.  I had personally received many emails and letters in support too.

As part of the scheme Lidl will give £300,000 to include a shuttle Bus service, a discount Bicycle scheme and Bus & Train tickets.   All staff on Southampton Rd will be eligible to partake.
