I see that the development of student flats on this already busy street is to go ahead. I do hope that WCBC will monitor the situation closely to keep the disruption to a minimum for the existing small businesses on this street. There appears to be 100% occupancy on Brook Street largely due, I would think, to the short term parking outside the shops. I hope that this new development will not spoil this mix of (some of them very long standing) businesses.
