ICELAND MOVE INTO FORMER oRMSKIRK WOOLIES STORE

"It's great news to hear that Iceland, the frozen food chain will be moving into the former Woolworth's on Aughton Street in Ormskirk" , says Adrian Owens.

Adrian, as well as being Conservative General Election candidate is also Regeneration Portfolio Holder at the Borough council. "This news puts to rest some of the ill-informed comment from certain quarters in recent weeks about the possible identity of the retailer moving into Woolie's."

"The council has been liasing closely with the letting agents and the council continues to work hard to make sure that Ormskirk is a friendly place to set up business and an enjoyable place to shop. We've made investments in new pedestrianiation, Coronation Park, extra Christmas lights etc. Moreover we've heavily promoted small business rate relief so that almost all businesses in West Lancashire have taken up this vital help through the recession."

The plan is that Iceland will start recruiting staff in December, ready for a February 2010 opening.
