Sainsbury's
The Sainsbury’s store will sit alongside a further 80,000 sq ft of non-food retail space, a market hall, 481 new homes, a health centre, library and 80,000 sq ft of light retail space.
Cllr Jane Corbett, who represents Everton, added: “Sainsbury’s committing itself is brilliant news.
“The community is desperate for the redevelopment and this signals the start of it.
“The regeneration will breathe new life into Great Homer Street, which the community has been calling out for since the end of the 1980s.
“Tesco needs to step down – it will gain a lot of credit if it does that.”
A Tesco spokesman said: “We do not understand the comments made by Sainsbury’s.
“Any other developer is free to promote and develop as they wish.
“We are not standing in the way of any development.
“In fact, we have been calling for investment in this area for more than seven years.”
