I live in Westhoughton and my dad goes shopping there. The food is very cheap 4 cans of coke for £1.00 believe it or not. Soups for 39p, 2litres of coke 39p. Service is quick. I do recommend taking your own plastic bags though as they charge 3p for every plastic bag you get. I think its a good idea as they convince people to have there own carrier bags. Other than that great service and good quality food for the price

Excellent news that the application was approved, work is progressing nicely.
We should have our store well before Christmas it seems.

At last a local alternative to the overpriced Coop monopoly ofthe last 60 years.

Despite the whinging of hypocritical residents occupying homes on what was Westhoughtons open fields.

As a lifelong resident of Westhoughton, we never wanted houses there either !

Lets see how you like it now.

At least Lidl is a Facilty and gives the people of Westhoughton a choice of shopping i’ve always found Lidl ,Adli to be good value for money so why should we have to go to Leigh or Horwich?
Besides whats the alternative? Even more empty apartments (flats) and further congestion on our already overcrowded roads.
I am in favour

I am in favour of any new shopping outlet that gives the Co-op a run for its money. I have lived in Westhoughton for 9 yrs now and as a non driver have had no alternative but to shop at the Co-op (or pay a fiver a go to have shopping delivered from Middlebrook) I buy fresh veg/ meat etc from the small local shops but there are certain items you have to go to a supermarket for from a convenience point of view. I therefore welcome any new shopping outlet which prevents the Co-op from having the monopoly and helps those not having the luxury of parking their arse in a car just to go the corner!!!

I opposed to Sainsburies as i live “RIGHT AT THE BACK OF IT” In a private house, BUT nooooooo Everyone wanted a larger store, leading to MORE traffic, MORE Chaos, Road works, extra traffic lights and the inconvienance is not only on the roads but on our estate, The footpath Leading to the store will be right outside my house. I really don’t see what all the fuss is about Lidl, Sainsburies will cause a nightmare with traffic whether we have a Lidl or not

We signed a petition for sainsburies but Bolton Council made the final decision .
NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH in Westhoughton I’m afraid because the decision has already been made whether WE like it or not.

I dont work for Lidl, daft to say so and doubt my integrity.

Maybe *you* work for the Co-op or Sainsbury more like.

You have lost an argument, classic tactics of slurring your opponents.

Sad man.

Mike and tr wolf im sure you both work for Lidl….. nice pr stunt..

lol, god luck to you all, but to be honest if a Lidl is needed in westhougthon, Green fields is not the correct location, put it in town centre. increase footfall to the local shops, that makes more sense…

making a 21st centry westhougthon…
