Mrs. McCallion said company creating the jobs is British home, garden and leisure retailer, The Range.

“It’s now great to see this site coming back into use and the retail company The Range creating up to 80 jobs.

“This announcement comes just week weeks before Home Bargains is to open a brand new store on the Strand Road creating 100 jobs,” she added.
