As far as High Street retailers go apparently John Lewis have now returned to profit, I believe it is the first time in over 2 years, M and S situation I find it bewildering that they are closing stores that have not long been open, Hexham for instance, visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago, a lovely new building, the Food Hall although not the biggest it certainly had a good range of food, there was also a clothing department, the shop was really quite busy, maybe Management didn’t do their homework before opening this store such a pity it is closing. I think the success of this store has not been helped by the fact that the rest of Hexham does need to be brought back up to the once thriving place it used to be, I found the main street to be very depressing.
Going back to the economy, I still believe it is improving, we need to be a bit more patient, our Country is performing better than lots of other countries , including Europe and guess what this is despite Brexit!!!
