Welcome<br />
to the<br />
Cranbrook<br />
Pharmacy<br />
What a pleasure it is to<br />
go into the new pharmacy<br />
in Cranbrook and see<br />
stocked shelves and talk to<br />
really helpful pharmacists,<br />
supported by the longsuffering<br />
staff who remain<br />
from Lloyds. The new<br />
pharmacists are making such<br />
a difference in seeing the<br />
public and helping with minor<br />
ailments.<br />
There also seem to be<br />
modern methods to streamline<br />
prescriptions and everyone<br />
I speak to have also been so<br />
impressed by the new owners.<br />

The closing of the White Horse was bad<br />
news. However, the shuttering of it makes<br />
Cranbrook look like the down-at-heel suburb<br />
of a slum town. What can the council do<br />
about it? It is damaging the town and all<br />
the businesses, as it make the place look<br />
unfriendly.<br />
Editor’s comment: We contacted TWBC<br />
Planning Technical Department about this<br />
matter and they responded as follows: “As an<br />
empty building it can be boarded up. There<br />
is no planning breach and there is no need<br />
to request permission to board up an empty<br />
premises, even in a conservation area.”<br />
Admiral Taverns have told us that it<br />
has been sold but couldn’t tell us who to.<br />
However, they have said they will pass our<br />
details on to the new owner. We are awaiting<br />
contact…<br />
