The project also included the launch of a new town website. the NMTI involved improving the 'look' of the town centre (which included new shop fronts) and controversial plans regarding a new supermarket on the site of Brook Street car park. Work for the new supermarket began in March 2009 with a full archaeological dig being carried out on the car park site before construction work began. Work to excavate the site began in August 2009, a total of 28,000 cubic metres of earth was removed to allow for the construction of a multi storey car park. The new Sainsbury's store was opened on 1 December 2010.
