AN Aldi supermarket is set to be built in Glasgow’s east end after plans were given the go ahead.
Glasgow City Council’s planning committee has approved an application to build on a site next to the railway line on Boghall Road.
There were 71 letters in support of the application submitted to the council, with many claiming Baillieston and Broomhouse are in need of more shopping facilities.They also said the plan would improve the appearance of the area, which is currently undeveloped grassland, and bring more jobs. Objectors also believe the new supermarket will have a negative impact on residents, through noise and light pollution and potentially youths causing nuisance in the car park.
More than over 90 car parking bays and 20 bike spaces will be included in the development. The opening hours will be from 8am to 10pm from Monday to Saturday and 9am to 8pm on Sunday.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
