A sign letting people know that a new Greggs is 'coming soon' has been taken down and dumped behind a derelict building.
As previously reported, signs appeared at a service station on the A339 in Kingsclere saying a new Greggs would be opening 'soon'.
The popular bakery chain was given planning permission to open at the service station in 2022, by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

The application, submitted by Wyeth Projects Services, asked to extend the forecourt shop building at the service station with a ‘food to go’ area, storeroom and accessible toilet.
The planning statement said: “The extension will provide space for new additional walk-in chiller and freezer units together with better merchandising storage options.”
The services, which include a Shell petrol station, used to have a Little Chef restaurant which closed in 2001 before reopening at Nelson’s Diner which is now closed.
The Gazette previously asked Greggs for further information about the new branch, including when it is opening. It did not respond with information.
Greggs has been asked for a comment.
