The developer pulled the application. Bargate remains a residential conservation area. Thank you for staying loud.

Our concerns include, but are not limited to:
- increased traffic volume on an already busy road and junction
- the fact that this is a residential conservation area
- the pedestrian footpath being crossed by a significant volume of traffic in an area between 2 schools.
Although this building is already a licensed premises, it has only ever operated as a private members' club, causing minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Any change of use application should go through full planning permission processes.
Turning this building into a retail premises would create significantly more volume and frequency of traffic in and out of the site than any other proposed use for the site, e.g. offices, care home, flats. It would set a precedent for Bargate to become a non-residential area and create danger and frustration for motorists and pedestrians alike.
We thank you for your support in signing our petition.

The traffic concerns at the junction are being raised repeatedly in our local discussions. I am currently compiling these accounts to present before the planning committee.

Growing up on Augusta Street, I'm have fond memories of summer and winter events at this wonderful venue. It should not be wasted as a generic tesco store. It can be better used to serve the community
Bargate is already a nightmare to drive down during school run times. Adding a shop right in the middle of it is just asking for a serious accident.
Such a shame to see a nice old building ruined for a tesco express. Very sad for the neighbourhood.
Living just round the corner and the traffic is bad enough. Lorries and delivery vans are going to cause absolute chaos here.
NO MORE SHOPS. We have plenty of supermarkets in Grimsby already. Keep the area residential like it has always been.
Conversion to a retail facility is inappropriate on all levels.

Concerns with increased traffic at the top of Augusta street, already congested with parked cars on a week day and the knock on effect of entering Bargate.
