Booths ‘committed to
Burscough store plans’
BOOTHS has told The Champion it is
“100% committed” to its plans to
build a new supermarket in
Burscough amid speculation it had
pulled out of the scheme.
Earlier this week there was incorrect
speculation in one local ‘media’
outlet that the Lancashire
supermarket firm had pulled out of its
plans to build a new supermarket on
land near Pippin Street, but the
company has since moved to quash
the rumours and that rival chain Asda
had taken over the project.
Graham Booth, the company’s
project director, told The Champion:
“I can confirm that Booths have not
pulled out of this site and remain
100% committed to it. We must point
out that we are a contracted tenant in
the scheme and therefore not in

control of the development. The
process has certainly taken longer
than we, and indeed all parties, had
hoped but we expect to be in a
position to confirm the date when the
developer will be starting on site in
the next few weeks.
“I understand that due to the lack of
any visible signs of activity, people
have assumed that nothing is
happening. I can assure you that there
has been, and continues to be a
considerable amount of activity
behind the scenes.”
The company, which gained
planning permission for the scheme

Council’s planning committee for the
second time last year after years of
delays to the project, said it remained
“very excited” about the opportunity
to build a new supermarket in West
Lancashire.
Alongside the new supermarket, the
plans for the Pippin Street site would
also include four non–food retail
units, a car showrooom and
workshop, a restaurant, ambulance
station and an accompanying security
lodge. The scheme was originally
given the thumbs up by councillors in
2010, but was referred back to the
planning committee after documents
relating to the original planning
application were incorrect.
The Burscough site would be the
company’s second supermarket in
West Lancashire.
