Members of the local community from all parts of Waterloo had gathered to protest at the closure of 3 local shops which provided key cutting, Dry cleaning, Launderette and Kitchenware.

The message was clear "Local shops for Local People " and "Save our Local shops no more coffee bars".

The shops had been forced to close due to the Landlords doubling the rent over night, suggesting that a large business no doubt a Coffee bar has interest.

The Waterloo community send out a clear message to the greedy landlords, we will oppose all planning applications and change of use.
