Iceland confirms exact date another supermarket store will shut for good
The Shotton Iceland branch - which is located on Chester Road - is pulling down the shutters for good when the store closes at 4pm on Monday, June 23 Iceland has confirmed the closure of another one of its supermarket stores this month. The frozen food chain confirmed on social media last month that its branch in Shotton would be closing in June. The Shotton Iceland branch - which is located on Chester Road - is pulling down the shutters for good when the store closes at 4pm on Monday, June 23. However, shoppers shouldn't be too worried, as the retailer is opening up a brand new site the very next day. The chain will be opening a new Food Warehouse store in Connah's Quay at 8am the morning after on Tuesday, June 24. The new site is based at Deeside Retail Park, the former Queensferry Lidl site. Lidl recently relocated to a new purpose-built store in the area. Before the move, Lidl had served the area for nearly 30 years. The Food Warehouse - launched by the frozen food retailer back in 2014 - is a larger store format compared to Iceland and offers shoppers an extended range of frozen, chilled and grocery products. Alongside this, it offers larger bulk buy options. Food Warehouse stores typically span 10,000 to 15,000 square feet and are commonly located in retail parks. In its social media post, Iceland said: 'A brand new The Food Warehouse store will open at Deeside Retail Parc at 8am on Tuesday 24th June! Don't worry you can still shop with us at any of our neighbouring Iceland or The Food Warehouse stores. This is not goodbye, but see you again soon!' Iceland already has a presence at Deeside Retail Park through a concession inside The Range store, located next to the soon-to-open Food Warehouse. Iceland has closed a handful of stores over the last few months, which included its Welling branch in London., as well as its stores on Shenley Road, Borehamwood and Alphington Road Retail Park in Exeter. However, this comes alongside a few new openings too with a new store in Derby and at Victoria Chambers on London Road.

Earlier this year, the company announced plans to open 20 Iceland and Food Warehouse stores by the end of April. At the time, the group's bosses claimed that its new 500,000 square foot £100million distribution centre in Warrington would be "game-changing" for the business. The Omega Park Site in Warrington - which opened in partnership with GXO in February - supplies around 350 Iceland stores across the north west of England, the Scottish borders and Wales.

New life for Shawfield site once known for toxic waste
The development in South Lanarkshire, known as Innovation Shawfield, sits on the former J&J Whites Chemical plant, once responsible for producing 70% of the UK's chromate products and leaving behind hazardous chromium waste. Clyde Gateway, Scotland's largest regeneration project, is leading the transformation of the site. (Image: Supplied) Remediation of the site began in 2013 and has transformed part of the area into Red Tree Magenta, a 40,000 sq ft office building supporting 21 companies and more than 180 jobs. Tom Arthur, Investment Minister at the Scottish Government, said: "Our significant investment in this project has helped to remove toxic chemicals from the former Shawfield Chemical Works site and transform it into a thriving hub for businesses. "The completion of these works is welcome news for Glasgow and Rutherglen, creating up to 90 permanent jobs and ultimately reducing pollution in the River Clyde. "To benefit people throughout Scotland, we are providing £62.15 million for regeneration projects in 2025/26. "This will revitalise green spaces, town centres and derelict sites across the country." The newly completed units form part of the £500 million Clyde Gateway Innovation regeneration programme. Jointly funded by the UK and Scottish governments, Scottish Enterprise, Clyde Gateway, and South Lanarkshire Council, the project aims to transform contaminated land into productive commercial space. The two units, totalling 29,000 sq ft, were delivered on time and budget by Heron Bros. Martin McKay, chief executive of Clyde Gateway, said: "Remediating this land not only removes an eyesore from the local community, it will also bring jobs and economic activity well into the future. "This development forms part of our £500 million vision for Clyde Gateway that will establish the area as a hub for innovation, green jobs and advanced manufacturing, bringing new homes, hotels and employment opportunities."

Scottish Government urges Chancellor to drop cuts in spending review
Finance Secretary Shona Robison urged the UK Government to abandon some of its 'damaging policies' such as cuts to welfare support for disabled people, to scrap the two-child benefit cap and to reinstate a universal Winter Fuel Payment, ahead of the review on June 11. She said the Scottish Government had not yet been provided with 'clarity' on spending priorities. READ MORE: Man arrested after Glasgow city centre incident which saw several roads shut She asked the Chancellor to award funding for the Acorn carbon capture project and to ensure Scotland receives a share of GB Energy funding that matches its contribution to UK clean energy goals. Robison (above) said: 'The UK spending review is an opportunity for the UK Government to abandon some of its damaging policies such as cuts to welfare support for disabled people, to scrap the two-child benefit cap and to reinstate a universal winter fuel payment. 'We are also aware of the huge impact of the increase in employer's national insurance, not least on public services. I hope UK ministers will use the spending review to fully-fund the costs of this tax hike on jobs to vital public services like the NHS. READ MORE: 'Joy, celebration and warmth' of Palestinian art to be showcased at Edinburgh Fringe 'The UK Government should also use the spending review to empower the devolved administrations with more flexible fiscal rules that can enable investment in public services. 'We need an end to spending that bypasses devolution so we can direct funds to best meet local needs. 'We called on UK ministers to involve us at an early stage of this process, but since they've refused to provide us with any clarity on their spending priorities it's clear that its business as usual for Westminster. 'We continue to call on the Treasury to use the spending review to change course, providing the funding we need to deliver for the people of Scotland.'
