Plans to replace a long-vacant pub with a new five-storey apartment block have been backed - despite concerns tenants will not have enough parking spaces.
MORE fears have been raised over access to immediate healthcare after the closure of the town s walk-in centre last year. The Islington Street facility shut in controversial fashion last March.
