Discount food supermarket Aldi has launched a consultation for a new store in Bourne.

The chain said its plans to develop land on West Road would represent a “significant economic investment” into Bourne.

It believes the new store would “help ease the impact of the current cost-of-living crisis”.

“The new store would provide customers with better-value products to help make their money go further.

“Many residents of Bourne already travel to our existing stores in Stamford and Spalding to reach Aldi’s high-quality, low-cost offering.

“The introduction of a new Aldi food store in Bourne would improve the immediate local retail offering, creating more competition and improving choice for the local community.”

The store has, on Tuesday, launched a community consultation which will last two weeks and close at midnight on Tuesday, February 28.

An in-person event will also take place at 1 Hub, Queens Road, Bourne, PE10 9DX, between 3pm and 7pm on February 23.

A virtual public exhibition will be available on this website between these dates.

Aldi is looking to submit its planning application to South Kesteven District Council in the coming months.
