“ Shocked to hear Coffee Bean wasn't consulted!! They are a fantastic independent cafe, so few independents survive, I think it's absolutely terrible to be encroaching on their business like this. In the summer their garden is teeming. I really would expect more than this, the Spires regeneration so far has been excellent, I love the new entrance. But if this is the way it will continue - by steam rolling independent businesses, there will be a lot of unhappy locals! We don't want chain restaurants at the expense of a long standing and successful independent cafe which is the hub of the community! ”
