Marks & Spencer (M&S) has announced when its Weston-super-Mare High Street store will close. The provisional date for the retailer’s closure is April 27.
M&S has had a presence in the town for more than 110 years having first opened a store in Weston in 1907.
Councillor Mike Bell said: “It is disappointing that the closure will come so soon. I wrote to the Conservative Leader of North Somerset Council last month to ask him to meet with me to discuss an urgent action plan for our town centre. I have not even had a reply, which doesn’t say much for the attention that the council leadership is giving to the plight of our town centre.”
That could have been only nine or as much as thirty-nine days ago. There are times, especially when we are criticising that we need to be more precise.
