A supermarket in Dagenham is set to relocate within the town.

The Iceland store in Heathway confirmed to The Post  today (February 15) that the shop will be moving later this year. 

Iceland currently shares a site with fellow supermarket chain Lidl, and it is unclear why the decision to move has been made.

Shoppers will not have to travel far to shop at the new store, which will only be around a ten-minute walk away at Heathway Shopping Centre.

The relocation will see the supermarket take over the old Wilko store in early April. 

The current Iceland store will remain open until April 7, with the new Iceland opening two days later on April 9.
