A £30.9m plan to redevelop part of Lincolnshire’s largest indoor shopping centre with a leisure scheme including a five-screen cinema has been given planning approval. Initial work is expected to start this summer.
Concerns were expressed about the viability of the cinema, the funding for it and the leisure scheme leading to yet more fast food outlets. But councillors agreed unanimously to grant planning permission. He was not able to attend, but a written statement was read out on his behalf. He said a group think can occur and it was “imperative” that such high profile projects are discussed by councillors in public to demonstrate a strong democratic process.Cllr Holland’s statement argued that the food aspects of the development went against the council’s public health strategy against obesity and in the context of life expectancies falling back.
Several Conservative councillors, including Cllr Henry Hudson, expressed disappointment with Cllr Holland’s opposition. “We need this kind of investment,” said Cllr Hudson, adding that Parkway Cinema want to run the proposed cinema.
