The legendary golfer Tiger Woods and pop singer Justin Timberlake have collaborated to open a business venture called T-squared Social, which is a sports bar. The venue for the initiative was Scotland, and the plan was to convert a vintage cinema hall into a sports bar.
Unfortunately, the Scottish locals were not very interested in the plan, and they turned down the idea right away. They even took legal steps to prevent the golf venture. Now, days after, another project awaits the go-ahead amidst censure from the residents.
The fate of the Ashby venue is at stake

The Scotland project by Tiger Woods was subjected to criticism by the residents. A petition was also sent with 7,500 signatures by people to the local council. The concern was raised by the people because converting an important part of their local history into a sports bar would be an injustice to future generations.
The location is also a point of pride for the city. The St. Andrews Film Festival founder also shares a similar nostalgic sentiment for the building. While the fate of the project is at stake, another golf project is reportedly under similar a threat.
A project combining golf, an escape room, and a bar is still under consideration for a license. Currently, the situation is not very favorable, and the residents are opposing the venture.
The paint shop, which is owned by Christopher Shaw, was on temporary license. Currently, Shaw is seeking a permanent license for business purposes but there are objectors to the project. While Shaw is trying out every possible solution for the venture, the residents seem to be strictly against it.

Locals voice their strong resistance to the project
Deborah Kendray made her stance clear with a bold assertion. She said, “Ashby High Street is already noisy enough at night, particularly at weekends with patrons of pubs and clubs in the area. Our worry with such an activity-based product, people will linger long after, discussing their experience and how much fun or not they’ve had.” She talked about her own opinion on the project while taking a stand for the other two residents.
