DIY store Wickes and supermarket chain Aldi are to move on to a fire-ravaged Telford industrial estate in a £12 million scheme to create 70 jobs, it has been confirmed.

A planning application has been lodged by developers Liberty Mercian for the former Snedshill Trading Estate, which has been derelict since being gutted by fire on July 2, 2007.

Director Chris Towers said he hoped building work would start in the New Year if planning permission was granted by Telford & Wrekin Council.

Mr Towers said the site near the Greyhound Roundabout would provide an "impressive approach to Oakengates and Ketley" and complement other upgrade plans for Telford.
