£20m Retail Centre’s Job Boost for Hexham
Union Property Services have submitted a planning application for a Lidl supermarket, a 69 bedroom Travelodge hotel and 250 public car parking spaces at the former bunker site on Alemouth Road, in Hexham.
Up to 60 new jobs will be created as part of a multi-million pound retail complex. Other economic benefits from the scheme include extra trade for nearby businesses, an increase in tourist numbers to the town and improvements to local roads.
