Works are progressing well at a new £60 million retail park, with infrastructure works now finished. 

Churchmanor Estates started building works at its Stane Retail Park development, at Tollgate in Stanway, in September.

The new 173,000 sq ft retail park, about the size of three football pitches, will house a new store for B&Q, an M&S Food Hall and a new Aldi.

As part of the development, Churchmanor is also spending £2.6 million on improvements to the Eight Ash Green A12 roundabout, where a four way traffic signal junction is set to be created.

Readie Construction is working on the retail park and has issued an update on Twitter about the development.

The firm said infrastructure works have been completed and earthworks are nearing completition.

The retail park should be complete by October if everything moves along as planned.

DIY giant B&Q is moving from its current home in The Hythe to the new shop, which has been designed with a covered builders yard and improved garden centre.

Its old home is set to become a new Sainsbury’s supermarket for residents of The Hythe.

Aldi will be relocating from its nearby London Road store to the new unit, which is much larger.

Seven other units at the retail park are being marketed online to prospective tenants.

They range in size from 15,000 sq metres to 1,600 sq metres and several have mezzanine floors.
