TESCO REVEAL PLAN FOR ANOTHER VILLAGE STORE

A PLAN for another Tesco store in Huddersfield was unveiled today.

The supermarket giant – which has already submitted bids to build in the town centre, Holmfirth and Kirkburton – is now hoping to develop in Scissett.

A site alongside the swimming baths, currently occupied by a car spares business and car wash, has been earmarked.

Tesco aims to launch an express store on the site, which would trade from 7am to 11pm seven days a week.

The company already has Tesco express stores in Wakefield Road, Moldgreen, Westbourne Road, Marsh, and Long Lane, Dalton.

There are also plans lodged with Kirklees Council for a giant superstore on the site of the current Huddersfield Sports Centre, and for a large super-market in New Mill Road, Holmfirth. A further application has been given the go-ahead to convert a former filling station site in North Road, Kirkburton, into a Tesco express store. Tesco also has a superstore in Brighouse and a larger Extra store in Batley.
