CONSTRUCTION work on a new Waitrose store in Botley Road is set to begin later this month.
Builders will move onto the site in two weeks time and construction work will begin on April 27.
The demolition of the former Halfords and MFI building was completed before Christmas to pave the way for Oxford’s third Waitrose – the other two being in Headington.
In January travellers, who moved eight caravans onto the site, were evicted.
The store will have 150 parking spaces and is expected to create 160 new jobs.
