    I hope the builders are going to put up fencing to block out the view of the Mens' Shed. You can see the structure from the gates of the Parochial house and it does not look well to my eyes.

    I am not an architect nor an engineer but there should be high quality buildings built along that road to blend into the beautiful red brick Parochial house. Both those structures fail in my opinion.

    Further up the thread, someone mentioned 24th November as the opening date, so that's still 9 days away.

    Yes. You're right! Somewhere along the was I've lost a week....

    It's open now. Very limited parking which is full at the moment. Doesn't look nearly as impressive as the new Lidl site.

    Not at the time. There was no free space in the car park and 4 or 5 cars circling around waiting for a space. It's a very small car park. The store looks small too from the outside.

    I called in at 7:45pm. The shop was very busy with the car park full (there was 2 cars parked on the footpath). I agree that car parking is limited (77 spaces).

    No it's fairly big, everywhere is a little 'scattered' due to I presume, big footfall over the first few days, but when everything settles down it will be a definite asset ie you won't have to plough over to JCs or Lidl 1 & 2 from the bypass to get a few beers!!
