PLAN TO TURN BROUGHTON PUB INTO CONVENIENCE STORE CREATING 12 JOBS

Plans have been announced to turn a Broughton pub - located on the No 4 bus route between Brigg and Scunthorpe - into a convenience store providing jobs for 12 people.
'Change of use' permission for the Red Lion, on the High Street, is now being requested from North Lincolnshire Council. The scheme, submitted by a Scawby-based applicant, includes the addition of a front extension.
A design & access statement submitted in support of the application mentions Broughton having three other licensed premises, and suggests "the community will still be well served by similar establishments."
The store will sell convenience goods such as foodstuffs, newspapers and magazines.
Proposed opening hours are 7am to 10pm, seven days a week.
The scheme will create 12 new jobs (a mixture of full & part time positions).
Parking provision is being made for 13 vehicles.
North Lincolnshire Council is now considering this application. A public consultation period will end on May 6.
