Is one town centre street about to become 100 per cent local resident free?





QLocal's learnt that there is every chance that the former Cancer Research shop on Burscough St. will soon be subject to change of use with a facade to the shop front and students housed on the ground floor.

If successful, it'll see the street virtually full of students who mainly live above the shops; next door to the shop the former Battersby's has student accommodation to the rear with the small barber shop to the front.

This week, decorators have been busy on the exterior and interior of the shop.
