A COUNCILLOR says Ludlow Sainsbury's store will go ahead despite cut backs.

Final planning permission for the store and petrol station at Rocks Green was given earlier in the year.

But since then Sainsbury's has announced that it is making cuts including closing some Argos stores.

But Vivienne Parry, who is a Ludlow Town Councillor and represents Ludlow South on Shropshire Council, says she has been told that the store and petrol station will go ahead.

"I have been told that the store will go ahead and that work should begin next March with it opening in the autumn."
