Superstore plan for former Telford school site could create up to 80 new jobs
A superstore and other shops could be built on the site of a former Telford school, possibly creating more than 80 jobs.
Plans have been submitted for a retail development on the former Madeley Court School site off Parkway, which could see store giants Lidl, Subway and Poundworld moving in.
The school closed in 2009 when pupils were re-located to the newly built Madeley Academy. It would be the second phase of development on the site, which already has Aldi and KFC on it.
The application, submitted by Telford & Wrekin Council, would see Lidl installed as the anchor store in the development.
Other stores would include Subway, Poundworld and Vets 4 Pets, with a fifth retail unit also in the pipeline. The plans also include a 202-space car park, which would be free to use for shoppers.
