WORK on Cudworth's long-awaited Aldi store is finally set to start in the summer.
The retail giant, which won planning permission to build its new supermarket on Barnsley Road in September 2013, has started preparing the site having carried out minor demolition works.
A spokesperson from Aldi confirmed building work is due to start in the coming weeks.
The store - which will create up to 30 full and part-time jobs - is being built on a site which has been vacant for more than two decades following the demolition of the former council offices.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
