Aldi to lift hourly pay to at least £13 for shop workers
Aldi store workers are set for a pay rise as the supermarket announced it was hiking its minimum wage to £13 an hour from September. The discount grocery chain claims to be the first UK supermarket to introduce the new minimum rate. Store assistants will be paid a minimum of £13 an hour nationwide from September 1 – up from a current £12.75. This rises to £14.33 an hour for workers within the M25 – from the current £14.05. Based on the length of service, Aldi store assistants could see their pay jump to £13.93 nationally, and to £14.64 within the M25. Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: 'Our people are the driving force behind our success across the UK. 'This latest investment in pay is a reflection of their hard work and the incredible contribution they make every single day. 'We're proud to remain the UK's highest-paying supermarket and will continue to support our colleagues in every way we can.' The UK national minimum wage was raised to £12.21 an hour in April for workers over the age of 21. Other supermarkets have raised their bottom rates for thousands of shop workers in recent months to bring it above the national minimum. Tesco store workers are set to benefit from minimum hourly rates rising to £12.64 an hour from the end of August, having risen to £12.45 from March 30. For Sainsbury's and Argos workers, the national minimum hourly rate will rise to £12.60 in August, having increased to £12 in March. Rival German discounter Lidl, earlier this year, increased hourly pay for thousands of workers to £12.75 an hour across the UK.

New Manchester neighbourhood among latest huge plans for the city - along with supermarket blueprints and flats near the Etihad
A new neighbourhood next to the Mancunian Way with hundreds of new apartments and shops restaurants has moved a step closer to becoming a reality after plans were recommended for approval by council officers. Last week, work got underway on the first office blocks as part of the huge planned overhaul of the Mayfield area, between Piccadilly station and the city centre flyover. The first residential scheme as part of the blueprint for the area is due to go before the council's planning committee next Thursday (July 31). It includes plans for more than 850 new apartments including two tower blocks more than 20-storeys high. Sign up to the MEN Politics newsletter Due North here Council officers say it will 'remove an underused site', 'have a positive impact on the regeneration of the area' and 'contribute to the supply of high-quality homes' as they recommended it for approval. The final decision will be made at next week's town hall meeting. A number of other notable applications will be also decided upon, included for new youth facilities in south Manchester and dozens of new homes on the site of a former pub near the Etihad Stadium. Here is a detailed rundown... New neighbourhood at Mayfield The application, brought forward by developer Landsec, is for 879 new homes in four buildings, including two towers 23 and 28 storeys high. The rental apartments would be a mix of one, two and three-bedrooms. There would also be commercial spaces on the upper and lower ground floors, including restaurant and retail units and gym and sports facilities. The four acre site is bounded by the Mancunian Way, Mayfield Park, Hoyle Street. Permission for the first phase of the development at Mayfield was granted in February 2020 with the new park in the area completed in 2022. Work on a 13-storey office building, The Republic, which was also approved as part of those plans, has begun, and work on the remainder of that first phase will begin later this year or early next year. In their report, council officers say the latest scheme would 'bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits' and would 'develop a vacant, brownfield site which has negative impact on visual amenity'. Documents accompanying the application state 'would not be viable for the proposal to support affordable housing'. Council officers say in their report to the committee that say they are minded to approve subject to the signing of a Section 106 agreement with which would include a mechanism to review the position regarding affordable housing at a later date. New Lidl store in north Manchester Lidl have brought forward plans to build a new store at 440 Hollinwood Avenue in Moston. The firm wants to demolish an existing single storey warehouse which had been occupied by Barr drinks but is now vacant, and replace it with a new single-storey store almost 2,000 square metres in size. There have been a total objections with some questioning if the store is needed given an Aldi opoened 400 yards away last month and raising concerns about traffic. Transport chiefs say they see 'no significant issues'. Council officers have recommended it for approval, subject to a number of conditions, saying it would 'would offer favourable regeneration to provide appropriately scaled economic development which would create shopping choice and a range of local employment opportunities'. "The proposed redevelopment has the potential to bring about significant economic, environmental and visual improvements by replacing what is currently underutilised brownfield land with a modern foodstore development" they add in their report. Dozens of new affordable homes on site of former Manchester City matchday pub The Great Places Housing Group want to build 82 affordable homes in a six storey building on the junction of Grey Mare Lane and Ashton New Road in Beswick. A total of 57 of the apartments would be one bedroom, whilst 25 would two bedroom. Six disabled parking spaces would be provided. All the homes would be let on a social rent basis.

The pub was demolished in 2019. The homes are an early phase in the wider Grey Mare Lane Masterplan. Officers say they are minded to approve subject to a legal agreement to secure a monitoring fee for the on site biodiversity. It would 'bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits' they said. The conversion of a gym in Chorlton to apartments The applicant is seeking permission to internally convert a gym on St Werburgh's Road in Chorlton into three apaartments. Thw building is a Grade II listed farmhouse dating back to the late 18th century. Permission was granted to covert it from office space to a gym in 2017. A number of other small businesses are also said to be operating out of the building including therapy and counselling, hair and beauty, physiotherapy, singing,yoga and pilates. A total of 163 letters of objection have been received some of which claim it is a 'vital and unique community hub' which would be forced to close or relocate. Officers say it is 'acceptable in terms of its principle, appearance, impact upon visual and residential amenity' and have recommended it for approval subject to conditions.

It is recommended for approval with conditions. New youth facility in Withington The council also want to build a similar facility on land between Yew Tree Road, Heswall Avenue and Dennison Avenue in Old Moat, Withington. The site was formerly a council depot and contains a number of single-storey brick buildings which would be demolished to make way for the new single-storey modular building. It would offer similar facilities to the above propsoed centre in Chorlton. It has been recommended for approval. High school bidding to use artificial sports pitch at weekends Didsbury High School, on The Avenue, off Princess Road in West Didsbury, wants to amend the hours of use for its artifical pitch.

Man shocked at where he finds his clothes 45 minutes after donating them to charity
A man expressed his shock after spotting his old clothes being sold outside a Lidl store. Jacob King shared his feelings on TikTok after donating the items to a charity just 45 minutes before finding them being sold. They were reportedly hanging over the railings on a wall at a nearby Lidl. Sharing a clip of the jackets and shirts, Jacob said: "Point of view: you donate clothes to charity and 45 minutes later they're being sold outside Lidl." READ MORE: 'I went from being a block soldier robbing stores to a cage-fighting champion' He added in the caption: "I respect the hustle, but this felt kind of violating." One person asked: "Did you dump the clothes outside or actually take them into a charity shop to be sold?" Another said: "Donated how? If you left a bag with clothes in outside a shop they are very liable to be taken. A third added: "That's why you should give your donations when the shop is open and not left outside." Jacob explained: "Lots of people are asking the same question so I'll answer it just once. "I put the clothes in a charity donation box, which someone has then reached into." One person responded: "Isn't that the whole point? "Donate them so someone less fortunate can benefit from them in some way?" A second wrote: "To be fair this is technically what you gave the clothes away for, is it not? "That person clearly needs the money more than a charity shop, who's CEO likely has a triple figure salary. "It's not the charity you intended but it helps someone living in your community." And a third said: "They must be very needy, but seeing your old stuff like that on display is a bit off-putting." According to the Textile Recycling Association, charities have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds due to entire clothing banks being taken from car parks, MEN reports. In an interview with the BBC in 2018, President Ian Woods said the loss of the banks was "depriving members of the public from a service intended for them to recycle textiles and, more importantly, depriving charities and local authorities nationwide of revenue streams which are vitally important for the services they deliver".
