MORRISONS is heading for an opening date of September 15, 2008, as part of the £20 million redevelopment of Whitefield town centre.
The announcement was made as construction got underway in a ceremony at the site, in Bury New Road, last Friday.
At the launch, Bury South MP Ivan Lewis said: "It has been a long journey to get us here. It has taken many many years, with lots of obstacles and barriers, but I'm absolutely thrilled that we have overcome them and today we really do start work on the development of a new Morrisons, which will be at the heat of a regenerated Whitefield."
