Application Notes:
Members are disappointed that the great resource that was the information area has been lost and would love to see it relocated elsewhere in the town. They do not object to the proposal of introducing a coffee shop to this area but feel the seated area outside is highly inappropriate. The red barriers are an eyesore and despite their temporary state would ruin the integrity of one of the most iconic buildings in Shrewsbury. They are concerned about the seating area on this pavement compromising the walkway, whether there would be enough space for prams and wheelchairs using the lift and health and safety issues of mixing hot beverages with crowds of people. At peak times, this is a bustling area with vehicles and people of all ages.
