Work is underway on the construction of a new supermarket in the Fenland town of March.

Aldi plans to open the new shop in Hostmoor Avenue in the first half of 2025.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Construction for our new March store is progressing well as we move towards opening in the first half of next year.

"This will create up to 40 jobs for the community and enable local people to shop and save closer to home.”

Planning Potential – a London development company with Aldi among its portfolio of clients – has been in talks with Fenland District Council since March 2020 about opening a store in the town.

The two-acre site earmarked is 1-3 Hostmoor Avenue, March, and formerly a packaging company.
