A busy city supermarket is closing for six weeks.

Aldi has announced it will be giving its Larkman Lane shop "a complete refurbishment".

A notice placed inside the shop has made customers aware the site would be temporarily closed for six weeks.

It added that its maintenance team will be carrying out major work to update the shop and "improve the shopping experience".

The Larkman Lane supermarket was built on the site of the former Larkman pub and opened in November 2002.

The pub, which dated back to 1932, had been empty for 18 months and during that time had been ransacked and badly damaged by a fire.

Aldi had received objections from the community about traffic concerns after plans for the site were lodged in 2000 but eventually gained planning permission from Norwich City Council.

The latest shop opened in the city by the German chain was in July last year, at Longwater Retail Park in William Frost Way, but has been at the centre of controversy after the site was opened without a pedestrian crossing being built.

There has been an ongoing dispute between Aldi and developer Persimmon Homes about who is financially responsible for funding the crossing.
