Uncertainty About Pubs Future
29 December 2011 by HamstThe future of the Foundry Arms in Scunthorpe remains uncertain as the demolition of the nearby multi-storey car park continues.
The pub in Library Square has remained closed less than two weeks after opening in July pending the demolition of the adjoining multi-storey car park on Carlton Street. Work got underway to demolish the car park during the third week of November, it was later revealed it could be April 2012 before the public house re-opens and the 15 members of staff get their jobs back. However, after a meeting with North Lincolnshire Council on 20th December the owners were informed that the demolition of the muliti storey car park above the premises had caused damage to The Foundry Arms incorporating both the Pandarama playzone & Nemo sensory centre to the extent that the premises housing the playzones are now structurally unsafe & will have to be demolished. Once this as been done the council will analyses the situation & will decide what will be done next.
A spokesperson has said that everybody is truly gutted and their only hope is the council chooses to support & help them establish these facilities again.
