Lidl has confirmed it plans to demolish what's left of its Fortunestown Lane store in the interests of health and safety.

A team of engineers and consultants have completed their assessment of damage caused to the building during Storm Emma.

Lidl, which had been planning to build a bigger store on the site, says it has yet to make a final decision on future plans.

The supermarket chain has also announced that it will be offering customers a complimentary shuttle bus service from Fortunestown to its next nearest store at Whitestown Way.

The service will run once a day from Friday 9th March and the 40 seater bus will operate on a first come first served basis.

The bus will depart from directly opposite the Fortunestown store at 10.30am sharp each day, drop customers to Lidl at Whitestown Way and will wait for 1 hour whilst customers complete their shopping.

The bus will leave Whitestown Way at 11.45am sharp and return to Fortunestown.
