The new supermarket would be next to a very busy road
The supermarket chain is seeking to get opinions for a new store near the Arrowe Park Road roundabout in Upton . It said it “would like to bring a brand-new, sustainable store to Upton , offering the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices.”
Lidl said the new store would provide around 40 full time and part time roles, 95 parking spaces, electric chargers, and improved footpaths. It has already bought the former fire station in Upton next door to the council land. Speaking against the proposal, Stephanie Miller raised concerns about air pollution. She said: "We are talking about the most over-used and dangerous roundabout in Wirral," adding: "You will be creating a recipe for environmental and health catastrophe."
Wirral Council leader Paul Stuart said: "This isn't guaranteed money. It is only money once the purchaser is satisfied they have got what they want, not what we want, not what our residents want."
