New Hedges’ county councillor has urged locals to take part in a public consultation on plans touted to site a new Lidl store on the outskirts of Tenby - stressing that no planning decisions have yet been made on the proposals.
It was announced earlier this week, that Lidl are progressing forward with proposals for a new foodstore on land off the A478, on the gateway into Tenby on Narberth Road at New Hedges.
A site near the entrance to Park House Court care home has been earmarked for the store.
The plans are at an early stage, but would likely include:
• A new store, with a 1,334 sq m net sales area, built to the very latest specification, including modern in-store facilities like Lidl’s popular bakery, and customer toilets with baby changing facilities
• 103 parking spaces including 6 accessible and 9 parent and child bays and covered cycle parking
• Up to 40 jobs for local people including full and part-time roles, with entry-level staff receiving Lidl’s competitive £12.40 per hour starting pay
• Enhanced environmental features such as solar panels on the roof and rapid electric vehicle chargers in the parking area, as Lidl has an ongoing commitment to enhance the sustainability of its stores.

A spokesperson for the foodstore said on the proposals: “Lidl believes these plans will provide significant benefits for the community including new jobs and increased local choice for shoppers.”
“A new Lidl store at this site would increase local shopping choice and create up to 40 new jobs.
“The planning application will consider a range of matters including design, landscaping and highways.”
A public information event is being held on Wednesday, December 4 at De Valence Pavilion on Tenby’s Upper Frog Street.
Members of the public are invited to drop in to the event any time between 3 and 7pm where members of the project team will be on hand to answer questions.
Following this stage of the consultation, Lidl will prepare a formal planning application to the Local Authority.
Further details of the scheme are available on the consultation website: Lidl Tenby - Public Consultation (tenby.newsite.lidl.co.uk)
A leaflet with a freepost feedback form is also being sent to the community.
County councillor for the ward of St Mary Out Liberty (New Hedges), Cllr Rhys Jordan, shared the news on his Facebook page earlier this week, and addressed some concerns in responses he received from constituents, stating: “Thank you for your comments. I’d like to clarify and address the points raised.
“This is a public consultation, not a planning application. No decision has been made, and this is an opportunity for residents to share their views. I encourage everyone to take part to ensure their concerns are heard.”
