Councillors in Downham have backed plans for a new Lidl store on the edge of the town, despite fears over its impact on the town centre and road safety.
The proposal to develop land off Bexwell Road was supported in a vote taken during a special town council meeting last night.
But members also called for a review of traffic arrangements for the scheme, with one even suggesting there could be dead bodies if alternative plans were not drawn up.
