Hundreds object to plan for Whitby 24-hour adult gaming centre
Plans to convert the former premises of a seaside town's last high street bank into a 24-hour adult gaming centre have received hundreds of its application to North Yorkshire Council, Luxury Leisure, trading as Admiral, said the conversion of the Halifax Bank on Baxtergate in Whitby - due to close later this year - would "ensure footfall to the town centre".Such premises were "bona fide town centre uses", adding to diversity and choice with no harmful impact on retailing activity, it added.A total of five people have so far written to the council backing the plan, but 370 objections have been received, including one from Jacqueline Hoggart, who said Whitby was "not Las Vegas". Ms Hoggart added: "It's a town full of character. I sincerely hope these plans are not approved as it would go against the ethos of Whitby and encouraging gambling is rather dangerous."Another objector, Debbie Beeforth, said: "The town needs to encourage more retail businesses to regenerate the centre, not adult gaming centres which do not belong in the main retail thoroughfare."

It will be good for other local businesses like my own, and create lots of job opportunities."Meanwhile, Joe Spivey said: "It will be an excellent replacement for a disused bank, providing a good amount of footfall for the area, as well as another facet of nighttime activity for the town."The Halifax Bank on Baxtergate was originally supposed to shut its doors in January, but customers have since been told it will remain open until to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, over 40% of bank branches in Scarborough and Whitby have closed since Yorkshire Council has not set a date for deciding on the application, which currently remains open to comments from members of the to highlights from North Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North or tell us a story you think we should be covering here.
