WHILST walking up Poole High Street from the quay, I couldn’t help but notice that yet another coffee shop is being opened.

Do we really need this? In the short space from the quay to Old Orchard there are already six businesses selling teas and coffees, plus the pubs.

The new one is even opening next door to an existing café. The upper High Street is already awash with who knows how many tea and coffee shops.

Will it ever end, or will Poole only be known for teas, coffees and pubs?
