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.
