But Scunthorpe Moving Forward member Judy Bradley said: "Far from it being the demise of the town, it will be the making of the town.
"It is only five minutes away from the town centre and it is money being spent in our locality.
"We would love to get involved in helping the town centre and putting forward ideas.
"I honestly believe people will not go out of town as much as they did.
"We love Scunthorpe and want it to do well but things have changed and towns have changed, not just in our area but all over."
