A NEW supermarket opened its doors on Canvey on Friday.
Canvey Bay Watch, a group of volunteers who help keep the island’s beaches clean, were on hand to open the new Lidl store on Northwick Road.
Lidl has been working to tight schedules with construction firm Adston to help build the store which is set to create up to 40 new jobs.
The completion of the new supermarket at the start of the month came after rival Aldi announced plans for eight new stores across south Essex, including in Basildon, Canvey, Leigh, Rayleigh, Rochford or Hockley, Shoebury, Stanford-le-Hope or Corringham and Tilbury, back in June.
The members got a tour of the new store and then posed for a photo outside the front.
