THE NAMES of the new businesses being announced for Peach Place will be released over the next few weeks.
That was the promise of the executive member for regeneration, Cllr Philip Mirfin during a meeting of Wokingham Borough Council on Thursday, September 20.
In his update to the council chamber he said: “I’m confident [residents] will be pleased with what they hear. We have always been clear that we want a strong local independent offer along with some great quality national names. This is exactly what we have achieved.
“No one will deny that the face of the high street is changing but Wokingham continues to remain strong and to buck the national trends.”
He also addressed Market Place, saying that work was now “complete”.
Cllr Mirfin did not make any mention the cost of the project, or if there was any overspend given that the works were almost seven months behind schedule. The Wokingham Paper will continue to push Wokingham Borough Council for this information.
