Aldi wish to open a new store in Old Amersham which will be reviewed by local council 30th April. This is a petition for the residents of Old Amersham & surrounds to show their support. 

The proposals
Aldi knows its customers are currently travelling out of the Amersham area to visit its stores. It has wanted to open a local store in Amersham for some time and is delighted to have identified the former Jaguar Dealership at 44 London Road West HP7 9DD as a location. The site will be developed, using sustainable construction materials and techniques, to provide a fresh, modern, new Aldi discount food store. 

This significant investment would create at least 40 new jobs, which Aldi would seek to recruit locally.  The site is a disused brownfield site and will be landscaped to complement the local area. There will be 101 parking bays, parking for blue badge holders and parents and children. There will also be cycle parking and 4 electric vehicle charging points. These proposals would bring a much-needed discount food store to south Amersham, reducing the need to travel and ensuring the area has sufficient supermarket provision for its existing and future needs. 

Unlike other supermarkets, Aldi is not a ‘one stop shop’. We have no in-house bakery, butcher, fishmonger, delicatessen or chemist and we do not sell items such as cigarettes. As a result, Aldi stores complement other local and independent stores which provide these goods and services and by encouraging linked trips to the town centre helps to keep spending local.
