Neighbours unhappy as site could become Greggs with drive-thru

Residents have criticised plans to transform the site of a former hotel and pub in Bulwell into a Greggs with a drive-thru. People say there are already "plenty enough" takeaways and drive-thrus in the area.

But expressing unhappiness about the proposals, lorry driver Donald Barry, 49, from Bulwell, said: "Why would you put a drive-thru there when the area already has two? There's a Domino's Pizza too - fair enough that isn't a drive-thru but it's still a takeaway, there's no need for more."It's a big site. It could be anything but a drive-thru."

Andrea Humes, 57, lives in Highbury Vale, added: "I don’t think it will go down well with people." The developer said in a statement: "Apollo Retail Park provides a new-build roadside retail development anchored by a Greggs drive-thru and three new-build retail units with eight EV car charging points.

A hand car wash was later established on the site but the business owner’s temporary consent to run it expired, leading to issues with the local authority at the time. Concerns were raised by councillors over the unauthorised use of the site, but conditional permission was granted following a resubmission.

I’ve always wanted to see a greggs drive thru! Im all for it
