And over the border in Cornwall there are a further six desired sites.

A Lidl spokesman said: “As part of ongoing national expansion plans, our dedicated property teams are working hard to identify suitable locations across England, Scotland and Wales. This is for both new stores where there is demand for a Lidl, and existing stores that we would like to remodel for customers, which may require a relocation to do so. We would encourage any landowners or agents who may be aware of suitable sites, to get in touch with our property teams to discuss.

"For reference, you can review our site requirements brochure here, which has all of the relevant contact details for landowners/agents. We regularly keep communities updated as and when we are able to confirm plans for a new store.
