With the economy showing the first signs of a slow recovery it comes as good news that supermarket giant Morrisons is about to create 240 food jobs in the Birmingham and Black County region.
The new superstore in the Birmingham and Sandwell area is hoped to be open by 2011 after the go-ahead was just given be the city's planning team. The store will be situated on an old industrial site on Holyhead road and around 240 jobs are hoped to be created.
"This is an impoverished area, we need the investment and the local jobs for local people."Stated Councillor Sybil Spence after the green light to the planning application was given.
Morrisons will give around £750,000 to the local council to pay for upgraded local community facilities and to update the road network as part of the package.
Although the planning approval has been given, Morrisons still need the development officially sanctioned by the government before building work can start.
