It’s great to have such anchors as Sainsbury’s and Esquires together with the other ancillary operators who will provide a range of offerings to serve the local population”
LSP’s procurement surveyor Jake Conkay said: “It’s great to finally get this one over the line in terms of planning, having procured the same through a testing market. I’m looking forward to seeing this one come out of the ground and become a vibrant Local Centre development.”
