A RESIDENT has raised concerns about the appearance of some of the empty shops in Princes Risborough.

At the town's annual meeting on Wednesday she asked the town council if anything can be done about the appearance of empty shops, in particular Birtchnells.

Chris Palmer from Fairways said: "It really is an eye sore."

Mayor Gary Hall said the council does not have a say, although it is a concern to councillors.

He said they had hoped Perfect Pizza was going to move into the empty premises, but Risborough was too small for the chain.
