THERE was a big reaction from readers to the news that High Wycombe will get a new Lidl.

Last week, we told you that the new Lidl - which replace Homebase on London Road - has been approved. 

This is despite concerns from the Environment Agency over possible pollution to the River Wye that runs alongside. 

And it's prompted a debate over whether a new supermarket is actually needed.

Bucks Free Press:

Under the recently approved plans, two 'pod' shops will also be built, which could house a coffee shop and one more outlet. 

But there has been a mixed reaction to Lidl's imminent arrival. 

More than 200 of you commented on the BFP Facebook post, with many people welcoming a new discount supermarket.

One reader said: "I'm happy with Lidl. Will be handy to have one this end of town."

Another added: "Apart from Tesco Loudwater, anyone living east of the town centre has always had to struggle through town centre traffic to get to any supermarket.

"It will make a pleasant change to have a choice this side of town."

However, with High Wycombe already having one Lidl and an Aldi - plus another Aldi opening in the autumn - some commenters said they'd prefer to see the area used for something different.

Suggestions ranged from 'a massive coffee shop' to a new doctors surgery or even 'some 4-bedroom houses'.

But by far the most popular suggestions were stores B&M and The Range.

Home store The Range has branches in Slough and Bracknell and sells everything from power tools to hot tubs. 

And B&M, which has shops in Aylesbury and Slough, sells a wide range of home and garden products, electricals, toys and food and drink.

Vote on what you want to see there, and we'll contact the brand in question to let them know.
