Former Queen's Hotel
The local eyesore that is the former Queen's Hotel has very much been on the community council's agenda for some time and in response to many community concerns, we have been active in raising the need for its development.
On 4th June, we were informed that planning and listed building consent has now been granted permission, subject to conditions.
We will post further information once received but in the interim, see the planning links below.

Shore Street Vacant Plot
A vacant Shore Street plot had been seriously neglected and required environmental action to support local business and wellbeing.
Success arrived in the shape of a new fence which has now been erected to shield the neglected area. It's not a perfect solution, perhaps, but it certainly has gone a long way to improve the look of the immediate area.
Kirn Drive One Way System
In early June 2025, we received confirmation that an experimental one-way system will now be implemented at Kirn Drive to help solve the traffic flow caused by a combination of a narrow road and residential parking.
