LETTER: All we will have left is coffee shops

We all know and understand these are difficult times for all, but to have three shops closing down in a town with very little variety for shopping anyway is bad.

One of the shops closing is pretty much the only shop in town in which women have a decent choice of clothing, apart from a couple of shops at Brewery Square that nobody can afford anyway!

What does the town get as a replacement? Yet ANOTHER coffee shop!

Is this the council’ss fault regarding rents in the town?

It is likely they will increase Council Tax AGAIN next year, which means young and old have to find more money they havn’t got toward the most expensive Council Tax in the country, for what?

To have a choice of coffee shops?
