Work is now underway on a new Lidl supermarket near Hunton Bridge, a development expected to provide a convenient shopping space for Abbots Langley residents.
The site, just off the A41, was formerly home to World of Water and received planning permission in March 2024 to be replaced by the retailer.
The old building was demolished earlier this year, and construction crews have now begun groundwork for the new store, which is expected to open next summer.
A spokesperson for Lidl said: “Demand for our high quality, affordable products is continuing to grow throughout the capital and we’re delighted to be progressing our plans to bring a new Lidl store to Abbots Langley.
“We’d like to take this opportunity to thank shoppers for their patience whilst our team works to deliver this new store, and we look forward to updating the community further in due course.”
Residents on Facebook have shared their opinions on the new site, with some welcoming the supermarket and others raising concerns about the roads leading to the store.
