Earlier this year (in January), ADP Bars Ltd had applied to Peterborough City Council for a change of use of premises on Bridge Street.

A heritage statement within the document said: "We are proposing to upgrade the existing building into a very attractive bar/restaurant which will increase the look of the every increasing presence of Bridge Street to coincide with the proposed market re-location, plus add to the every increasing offering of amazing places to eat and drink in the city centre.

"The centre of the city has always increased its offerings in eateries, bars and entertainment venues and with our proposed building change of use, we believe this will offer even more to the city of Peterborough and even more the Bridge Street location giving the city even more appeal for nighttime and daytime offerings.

"The design we are putting into the building will be beautiful and modern and give great kerb appeal to the existing street line and fit in well with the other cafés, restaurants, bars, and venues including Argo, Middletons, Lightbox, German Doner Kebab and Grizzlers.”

A decision on the application is awaited.
