Ive developed a squeak recently after having new tyres and brakes put on. In my case I know that its because the brakes are new and with the start and stop conditions where I live, the brakes on cars and bikes do take a beating.

Brake dust is a common cause and a good starting point. If that doesnt do it, it could be the springs in the mechanism between the pedal and the brake itself. Try a bit of lubricant on the spring, not WD40 though as its a freeing agent and on its own doesnt provide enough lubrication for a long term solution.
