Bradley has secured confirmation from the owners of TG Jones that their Bromsgrove store is “not at risk of closure.”
Earlier this week, the local MP wrote to the Managing Director of Modella Capital, Joseph Price, and asked him to confirm whether or not the TG Jones store on Bromsgrove High Street is one of the 150 stores that will be closed as part of the retail chain’s restructuring plan.
The TG Jones store on Bromsgrove High Street is home to the Post Office, and earlier this year Bradley and local residents were successful in saving it from closure.
In response to Bradley’s letter, Joseph Price confirmed that a deal had been struck with the landlord prior to the restructuring process started, and therefore the TG Jones in Bromsgrove is an “excluded store under the terms of the Restructuring Plan” and is “not at risk of closure.”
Bradley said:
“This is great news for our High Street and for the future of our Post Office after we saved it earlier this year.
“It remains a difficult time out there right now for retail businesses, especially with rising costs and tax rises. That’s exactly why I voted to scrap business rates for thousands of high street businesses.”
