Costa Coffee are advertising for staff despite being refused planning permission for a new shopfront in Maidenhead Street.

An application for a new shopfront was submitted late last year by Gerry's Offshore Incorporations Ltd via an agent in Buckinghamshire.
Adverts for a manager and staff have appeared at the premises of former men's outfitters Coles.
Hertford Town Council objected to the new shopfront whilst noting that there has been no application for Change Of Use.
