Easter comes not only with chocolate treats and traditions but also changes to the working week. One major discount supermarket has announced changes over the holiday that will impact shoppers across Nottinghamshire and the city.
High street retailer Lidl says that is is expecting a rise in customers over the bank holiday weekend - almost one million new shoppers headed for stores over Easter last year, it says - however, the firm has also announced that it will be closing completely on Easter Sunday.
