Yahoo News Morrisons reveals it is to 'review' Nuneaton store opening date
Morrisons has revealed it is to 'review' its Nuneaton store opening date. The company is planning on building a superstore and petrol station off Midland Road.
Councillors approved the planning application in the summer of last year. There followed a series of planning applications submitted just before Christmas from the national firm, including details for the petrol station as well as one at Warwickshire County Council approving the works for the new 'ghost turning' access to the store.
CoventryLive approached the firm for an update on the plans and when construction is due to start. In a statement, Morrisons said that they are now reviewing the 'proposed timeline for construction.'

A Morrisons spokesperson: "We are currently reviewing the plans for the store and the proposed timeline for construction. We are also in the process of obtaining the Section 278 agreement in relation to the new site access.
"We anticipate that this will take a few months and it is likely to be the summer before this is in place." A Section 278 agreement allows developers to enter into a legal agreement with a council to make permanent alterations or improvements to a public highway, as part of a planning approval.
