SIR - How sad I am to see the Co-op in Clovelly Road is to close.I work for the Co-op pharmacy in Bideford High Street. We were the old Boots store.

Yet again this is another nail in Bideford's coffin, but I can only blame the general public. if you want to keep your shops then start using them.

There is no need to blame anyone else. I wish all the hard working staff every good wish for their futures. I am sure all the staff in my pharmacy will agree what a sad state of affairs Bideford is becoming. So always remember use it or lose it is the lesson. It's as black or white as that.
