Construction has continued on Phase 2 of the Fairacres Retail Park. The structure is in place and cladding is being added in July.
The largest unit will be a Lidl – a German international discount supermarket chain who are Big on Quality – Lidl on Price. There are four other units up for grabs.
Traffic roundabouts in Abingdon have gone a bit wild during the Coronavirus pandemic, but one of the many businesses off this particular roundabout (Tesco, Hilton Garden Hotel, Miele, …. Lidl) could choose to tame this one, and have their sign added for publicity purposes.
Now that we can see them springing up. does anyone have any information on who is taking the other units?
Have to say, I’m still very concerned that a supermarket each side combined with A34 traffic will cause gridlock at that roundabout. There will be much higher footfall at a Lidl than at Homebase/Vineys/Topps combined.
Ben W; this will all have been investigated during the planning approval phase. The fact it is going ahead means it will be ok. Don’t worry about it.
