Lidl has set its sights on bringing a store to Burnham.

The popular discount giant announced this week that it was keen to open up in the town.

The move has sparked both excitement and concern for residents of the Dengie.

While some would welcome more competition, others fear there would not be enough trade to sustain three supermarkets in the town.

The nearest Lidl stores are currently in Chelmsford and Basildon.
