A new petrol station and convenience store, set to open in a South Cumbrian town, has been given the go-ahead to install 15 CCTV cameras.
James Hall and Company Limited wants to open the Spar store and petrol station on the site of the former Age UK shop on Lindale Road in Grange.
Plans to demolish the existing buildings and build the new facility were approved in 2021.
The petrol filling station will have six pumps and there will be 19 car parking spaces as well as two electric charge points.
Fifteen full-time and 15 part-time staff are proposed, and the shop would be open 6am to 11pm, Monday to Sunday.
This year, it applied to Westmorland and Furness Council to install the CCTV cameras, plus a dome camera at the site.
The town council gave no objections to the proposals from James Hall and Co – who run Spar – which has been in the works for more than a decade. The original plans for the site to become a Booths later fell through.
The site, near the town’s railway station, had been home to a charity superstore for four years and was a Toyota car dealership before that.
During the four years that Age UK South Lakeland ran its charity collection depot and shop at Lindale Road, it raised around £300,000 to plough back into its services for older people.
