After the recent loss of The Joint on Durham Road due to the landlord upping the rent to a level that was cost prohibitive, the last thing we need is to lose our last remaining butcher shop to make way for a larger convenience store.

A family run, extremely popular butchers will be a great loss to the community of Low Fell. Not only that, but the knock on effect on other businesses will be detrimental. Why should 40 years of customer service, loyalty to the community and great quality butchery on Kells Lane go?

We don't need another large super market in Gateshead, and also the amount of traffic it will cause on a very small road near to a school is very worrying. I also think we should be supporting our small businesses instead of pushing them out. I think its a bad idea.

I have nothing against Nisa & use more frequently now BECAUSE I am making a trip to Hunters (superb quality & service) as well as the Bakery and Fruiters. I use these shops more because of their quality, service & convenience. I believe Nisa gains more custom because of these shops & it would be a shame to lose these. Any move would not stop Hunters loyal customers but it may well hit the other close shops, Nisa included!

In response to your boycott point: I'll agree that the official #savebobsbutchers site has not made a plea of boycott, however, it's the 'followers' across all social media sites that have. It's people 'jumping on the band wagon' that seem to be causing this hostility.
Regarding job losses, many businesses have to relocate, part if the economy I'd say! But it may be worthwhile the supporters using: #savebobsbutchera&hairdressers... Just to make sure it is known that two businesses are facing a move rather than just Hunters, seems more fair!
Remember: Nisa is also a local shop too, it also comes under as you say this 'heart' of Low Fell!
