I suspect part of the issue with Wilton was the footprint - the entire ground floor looks to be given over to parking.

This is how Lidl appears to be building there stores now!

Lidl are applying to knock and rebuild a good few of their stores around the country. However planning an issue.

The new one in Churchfield is the same on the outside anyway.

It's flying up. They had the massive windows up in the front of it, when I passed by a couple of days ago. If I'm passing today, I'll take a pic.

The Lidl site is now totally excavated, leveled and ready for building. It should be opened some time during the summer. Aldi, once they had the site ready and excavated, went up really quickly.

What amazes me is they were originally 2 Petrol stations, topaz/Lehane motors demolished for aldi, the Lidl site was Esso upto 15 years ago and a few other things since then. The nearest petrol stations now are Maxol on the Glasheen road or Texaco in firgrove.

With the hospital so close a petrol station couldn't do anything but make business there unless Tesco still harbour hopes of another application for a petrol station.

The 2 bungalows are knocked about a fortnight now.

Somebody has got their facts wrong. I was out in CUH yesterday and the construction signs are for a Pedeatric unit for the CUH, not a Lidl store.

That's next door on the hospital site.

Between this development, and what they are currently planning for the shopping centre, Wilton / Bishopstown is going to become the next Mahon Point in terms of ridiculous traffic.

Whats being planned for the shopping center? First time hearing about any development for it since before the crash

I reckon that having the two opposite one another (Aldi & Lidl) will help both.

Co-location seems to be a new strategy for Aldi and Lidl whether it's deliberate or otherwise. East Wall in Dublin and more recently Tralee have Aldi and Lidl almost across from each other. I guess savvy bargain hunters with time to spare might do a shop in both in the same outing.

They've more than likely done their market research to show that there's a gap for them to open there. Simple as really.

The obvious answer is to get rid of the right turn lanes up Wilton Ave, Bishopscourt Rd and Merlyn Lawn, turning the outward into two lanes again. It's absolutely insane to force the reduction of 2 lanes coming up from the Shopping Centre, down to 1 lane. The greater good should come first.

I agree.

It's Wilton. I passed the Lidl site this evening and there were diggers working there again. I thought there was something in many planning decisions that prohibited working on a Sunday??

Talk about what you want but people were mixing up the two locations.
