No to Costa Coffee in Tones

tracco — Fri, 11 May 2012 10:04:27 +0000

Sign the petition to stop Costa Coffee opening in Tones. Costa and other national chains do not belong in Tones. It will only spoil the unique atmosphere.
There are plenty of wonderful coffee shops already in Tones.

The Barrel House is a very good example for a wonderful coffee house at a reasonable price and with free WiFi
