Proposals for Elmore AFC’s relocation to new facilities at Uplowman Road and an Aldi food store at Heathcoat Way

Aldi, the award-winning discount food retailer, will shortly be consulting on proposals for the relocation and improvement of Elmore AFC’s facilities alongside a new food store at the site of the current ground on Heathcoat Way, alongside a refurbishment of the existing clubhouse, the delivery of a new Aldi food store, and a new coffee drive-thru.

Elmore AFC have continued to grow over many years, especially via its training and development programmes with its younger members. It has now outgrown its current ground and is looking to move to larger facilities north of the A361 to enable further growth. If approved, Elmore AFC would relocate to new, modern facilities at Uplowman Road, just north of the A361. To facilitate this opportunity, their former site at Heathcoat Way would be redeveloped to provide local customers with a spacious and modern retail environment. We are working closely with Elmore AFC on these proposals, and we want to bring the club and its fans along with us throughout this process.

The existing clubhouse, which is used by several community groups, will be retained and refurbished as part of the proposals. The Aldi foodstore can only be built once the new community facilities and relocation of Elmore AFC are complete.

This website will provide a summary of the emerging proposals and ways you can submit your feedback.
