PLANS have been lodged to convert a shop unit which has been disused for “too long” into a supermarket. TJ Morris Limited, the owner of Home Bargains, has submitted a proposal to redevelop the old Comet site at Derwent Retail Park in Workington. It is the second major development set to take place at the shopping precinct as Aldi is also in the process of refurbishing its site. Shopper Mike Webb said that it was exciting news for the area, as the unit has been out of use for too long. He said: “That would be great. It’s been closed for two-and-a-half years now.”
