BARNARD Castle’s new Lidl store is to open slightly earlier than previously announced.

The new store opening is on Thursday April 14.

The store is expected to create about 40 new jobs in the town.

We have received overwhelming support from local residents, and we would like to thank everyone who has played a part in delivering this new store. We now look forward to serving our multi-award winning products to the local community.”
