A London based property company has announced that it plans to consult local residents about the redevelopment of the former Brooks dry cleaning building. Lib Dem councillors Dr Jon Rogers and Shirley Marshall have been approached to recommend suitable alternative uses for the building.
"I believe that this is a wonderful opportunity for the developers to renovate the building in a sustainable way and which would be of benefit to the local community and help to keep the environmental costs to a minimum."
Stephen Williams also commented that some form of community housing could help to improve cohesion within the area.
"It would be wonderful for the local people if this development could be used to provide quality community housing. This would help to ensure that the St Werburgh's area has meaningful regeneration which the residents could be proud of."
"The proposal could suit a mixed use facility possible some retail space and family accommodation which the area is desperately short of."
