Edinburgh locals have hit out as the site of a once-loved local bank is set to be replaced with a new Black Sheep Coffee. Olivia Kekewich, assistant manager at the nearby Edinburgh Bookshop on Bruntsfield Place, believes the change will impact the local community. “So many of those are cafes and coffee shops that will obviously be affected by it, and we’re in such a community-based area, local businesses support other local businesses. Ms Kekewich said many residents and businesses alike had felt the impact when the bank branch closed. If a shop’s there, it’ll bring people around to the area; if the shop’s empty, it won’t.
