Cllr For Fleet East Daisy Khepar

The possible Closure of the post office in Blackwater is causing concern to a lot of people. County councillor Stuart Bailey has been to see the post office manager and he confirmed that due to the closure of Morrisons, post office is also expected to close and closure date may be announced by the end of the month. Cllr Bailey is in conversation with Morrisons and will keep us informed of developments. I know this is a worrying time for people but we hope alternatives can be found.

I am writing, alongside many others in North East Hampshire, to express our disappointment at the decision to close M&S Food in Fleet.

EDIT: I can't respond to all comments, but suffice to say, I am absolutely in favour of businesses making profit. Of course they need to do that. But M&S isn't a loss-making business that needs to consolidate to survive. Last year's profit after tax was £236m.
The business is making a strategic decision to remove itself from our high streets. This will affect the very towns that helped build the business in the first place, including Fleet. They have responded to my request for a meeting and I will update in due course.

M&S Food in Fleet is closing

This morning I wrote to Marks and Spencer 's Corporate Affairs Director to express my concerns and disappointment about the closure of Fleet's M&S Food store, and its impact on our high street, our businesses, and our residents. Profit cannot come before people and Fleet deserves better. You can read the full letter here.
