A Balmaha business owner has taken the difficult decision to close due to pressure piled on traders by bridge and road closures in west Stirlingshire.
The Perch Coffeeshop closed last month, with five staff being made redundant and one being re-employed in the owner’s accommodaton business, with the owner citing the closure of the Catterburn Bridge, at Croftamie, for cutting off it’s regular flow of customers.
Charles Cottam opened the Balmaha shop last year following the collapse of his wedding business due to the Covid pandemic.
