Supermarket giants Morrisons planning Lockerbie convenience store
An application for a building in the town's High Street to be turned into a Morrisons Daily has been approved by the council.
Supermarket giants Morrisons are planning to open a convenience store in Lockerbie.
An application for a building in the town's High Street to be turned into a Morrisons Daily has been approved by the council.
That will see a former newsagents shop beside the town hall converted into a convenience store.
A heritage and access statement in support of the application from Dhiren Pancholi says the property has been empty for a number of years and is an 'eyesore' on the High Street.
The application was to change the shop front – including replacing windows and signs – and make internal alterations, with the shop part of a listed building.
