Aldi apologises for empty shelves at Telford store after 'refrigeration breakdown'

An Aldi supermarket in Telford has had to leave some of its shelves empty following a “refrigeration breakdown”.

Empty shelves were seen in the sliced meat section and others at the store off Holyhead Road, near the Greyhound Roundabout, on Monday evening (August 3).

A note placed on the shelves explained the nature of the issue and apologised.

In full it said: “Due to a refrigeration breakdown we are currently unable to stock products in this section.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

A yellow heat-health alert issued for the West Midlands by the Government came into effect on Monday and runs until Wednesday morning.

The UK Health Security Agency warned that continued high temperatures may result in an increase in demand on health services and could affect “the ability of the workforce to deliver services”.
