Getting a Lidl shop home in Colchester
Ask whether Lidl delivers around Old Heath and the honest answer is that Lidl itself does not. People in Old Heath still get their shopping brought home every week. Three things work here, starting with the fastest for The Hythe.
Start here
About 30,000 people have Abbot's Road within a short drive. Colchester, Wivenhoe and Old Heath account for a good part of that. Head east for 0.4 miles and you are in Old Heath. Another 2 Lidls sit within five miles of Old Heath.

Getting the bags home
Start with the apps, since checking CO2 takes seconds. If they fall short, a helper will not.
A delivery app
The apps already reach much of Colchester, Deliveroo more widely than Uber Eats. Drop your CO2 postcode into the box and Colchester either appears or it does not. For Old Heath that is easily the fastest of the three.
A local shopper
If no app reaches Old Heath yet, someone living there can do the shop instead. They walk every aisle in Abbot's Road, pick the fresh things properly and carry more than a rider can. You agree the cost before they leave Colchester, and pay once it is at the door. Have a look on Taskerama for someone in The Hythe.
Lidl's own website
Beyond the shelves in Abbot's Road, Lidl sells online as well. Kitchen things, tools, clothes and wine, posted anywhere including Colchester. Not a food shop for Old Heath, but a way to catch offers you would miss. See what Lidl has online.
