The Co-op store next to Lancaster bus station is closing next month with the loss of nine jobs.

“It is not, in any way, a reflection on the commitment and hard work of the store team.
“Every effort is being made to redeploy as many as possible of the nine members of staff with The Co-operative, or to help them find alternative employment.
“We would like to thank our shoppers for their valued custom over the years.”
