Plans to develop a vacant 65-year-old public house in North Shields into a petrol station have been criticised by 160 objectors.
The Redburn public house in Percy Main closed its doors for the last time in January this year. Now plans have been submitted to North Tyneside Council to demolish the former watering hole and replace it with a petrol station.
However, some residents are up in arms at the prospect and 160 locals have already signed a petition opposing the plans.
