I am very disappointed by the decision by @waitrose to close in #Stevenage and annoyed there has been no consultation or indication this could happen. A lot of Waitrose staff are worried about their jobs and we need to find a new venue for the @PostOffice so it is not lost. 1/3

I immediately contacted @Waitrose to ask them to consider a smaller presence elsewhere in #Stevenage, but they have refused, as this is one of seven stores closing. 2/3

.@Waitrose have been a valuable part of the Stevenage economy for 41 years and I do understand the pressures on them with many of us opting for online food shopping, but it is frustrating they are leaving without a fight. 3/3
