We don't need any more cafés

I noted in the local paper that the old Cooperative shop at Silverhill is being allowed to become a bingo hall with a coffee shop.

Why is our planning department recommending this facility be allowed. If one counts the number of shops in Silverhill out of approximately 40 odd shops, nearly a third of them are serving fast food or coffee in one form or another. I include the two pubs and Asda.

Do we really need this number in an area which is not even a mile in length?
