An online petition has been signed by more than 800 residents to stop the demolition of high street shops in Arnold.
Among the shops which risk being shut down is local beloved chippy Blue Circle Fish Bar.
The petition, put forward by Maureen Lane online, aims to save the family-run Arnold’s chippy, which is loved by many residents.
The petition states: “Blue Circle has been serving our community the best fish and chips by the same family for many years the current owner took over from his father 50 years ago. Please sign and share.”
The proposal for 135-141 Front Street would see the creation of residential apartments and one ground floor commercial unit.
Many residents in Nottingham have expressed their frustration and concerns for the proposed demolition and have signed the petition to prevent their beloved fish and chips take away to being closed.
The application, which was submitted by Michael Zucker, is currently pending review by Gedling Borough Council.
A comment from a Council Spokesperson stated: “We can confirm an application to demolish the existing building at 135-141 Front Street and create a number of residential apartments and ground floor business unit has been received by the council.
“A decision on the application is expected to be made by Christmas.”
