WESTBURY councillors have supported plans to transform the town’s former Barclays Bank building into a restaurant / takeaway with four flats above.
The application to Wiltshire Council for a change of use at 32 High Street was considered by the town council’s highways, planning and development committee at its meeting on Monday 16th August.
Members voted unanimously in favour of cllr Jane Russ’s proposal to back the bid. Cllr Russ said, “I actively support this. I’ve been round the inside of the site – it’s much bigger than you would think now they’ve taken everything out. To have a shop there is perfect and I can imagine it being really good.”
Westbury’s Barclays branch closed in May 2018, followed by Lloyds bank, which shut its doors six months later.
