The owner of a beloved Nottinghamshire chippy says he is 'devastated' that the council is expected to approve its demolition. Bambos Charalambous, 51, and his family have run Blue Circles Fish Bar on Front Street in Arnold since 1990, but could soon see their shop knocked down.
The plan for 135-141 Front Street involves the creation of nine apartments as well as two new ground level shops after the demolition of the four existing shopfronts, including Blue Circles Fish Bar. Bambos was gutted when the plans came to light a year ago, citing that most of his 15 children had worked in the eatery at some point, and has now spoken out about the fish and chip shop's fate ahead of a decision by Gedling Borough Council's planning committee.
"It feels very unfair, a lot of regulars would be as devastated as me, we've been here for a long time. Of course I would be gutted if we had to go.
