Witham: New supermarket on cards for Newlands?

Owners of an ageing shopping centre have not ruled out bringing a new supermarket to Witham.

NewRiver Retail, owners of the Newlands Shopping Centre, are still looking at options to develop the precinct.

But Morrisons claimed its latest bid for a multi-million pound expansion was partly based on the understanding there would not be a food store at Newlands.

Charles Spooner, senior asset manager at NewRiver Retail, said: “We continue to explore development options for the back of the precinct and have not ruled out a food anchor as one of the retail options for the centre."

Full story in this week's Witham and Braintree Times.

It would be good if instead of a supermarket we got something like an M&S Simply Food and/or Waitrose, there are a few empty buildings big enough and it would be better than yet another card shop.
