WORK is progressing on a new Tesco convenience store in the Bradford district.
The supermarket chain is set to open a store on Saltaire Road, Shipley, by the end of this year, it has confirmed.
Building work on the new store is taking place, with the steel structure already in place.
The Tesco store will replace the since demolished Northcliffe Garage, near the border between Saltaire and Shipley.
Plans for the store were approved by Bradford Council last year.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re excited to be opening a new store in Shipley and look forward to serving the local area through our community schemes.
“We hope to have the store open by the end of 2022 and will keep local people updated on our progress.”
Tesco’s planning application included a proposal to demolish the vacant garage site and build a 320sqm shop with 10 car parking spaces and six cycle parking spaces in its place. The plans were submitted by Rashid Moghul.
It is the second convenience store currently being built in Saltaire. Demolition work is taking place to make way for a new Co-op store on Bingley Road, on the site of a car wash, which shut earlier this year.
