Plans to turn shipping containers into a number of small businesses to create a new leisure development on the banks of a town’s river have been approved by the narrowest of margins.Cllr Jan Taylor was all for giving the scheme a chance to succeed and bring the riverside area to life as similar sites around the country had proved very popular.Cllr Eleanor Lister believed that the plan, which could include eateries and other businesses, will add to the area, especially if the council can secure access from the Stone Bridge side of the site.
