Our village filling station could soon be open right around the clock if permission is granted by Rushcliffe planners.
Ruddington Service Station at 130-132 Loughborough Road has applied for 24-hour trading. This would throw out a condition imposed on them back in 1993 that “The petrol filling station shall only be open for business between the hours of 06.30 and 22.30 Monday to Friday, 07.00 and 22.30 hours Saturday and 08.00 until 22.00 hours Sunday.” It was a restriction added out of consideration for residents in the vicinity.
The Esso station has been operated by Euro Garages since 2014 when they carried out a refurbishment of the facilities to create a bigger shop, a new cashpoint and even an 11 seater branch of the fast food outlet “Subway”.Anyone wishing to comment on the plans for 24-hour opening has until Tuesday the 11th of July 2017 to do so via Rushcliffe’s online planning portal >>HERE<< quoting application reference number 17/01330/VAR.
On a separate planning note we have learned that permission to extend the Artex/British Gypsum car park near the railway bridge (off Pasture Lane) has been granted by Rushcliffe Borough Council. This was despite objections from our own councillors and from Ruddington Parish Council. Our thanks to Craig Baum for the information.
