Watch: Supermarket demolition under way in West Midlands town to make way for new Lidl
Work is now under way to tear down the former Co-op store to make way for a Lidl supermarket.
A former supermarket in Kidderminster is being demolished to make way for a new Lidl.
Work is now under way to tear down the Co-op store on Franche Road.
Lidl had its formal planning application to Wyre Forest District Council approved last year after some changes to the design of the building.
The application will see the demolition of the existing supermarket and provide a replacement building for Lidl.
The plans will also see 130 parking spaces including eight disabled spaces, nine parent and child spaces and two rapid electric vehicle charging spaces.
A number of cycle parking spaces will also be provided.
Access to the car park will be via Wilton Avenue.
Other services inside the store, including the pharmacy and Co-op Travel, have been relocated.
Crest Pharmacy has moved to Marlpool Lane and the Co-op Travel is now located inside Morrisons on Green Street.
