A pharmacy plans to close and merge with another, which some residents feel leaves them without adequate service.
Rowlands Pharmacy plans to consolidate its Liverpool 8 Lodge Lane branch with its pharmacy in The Elms. Once closed it will not be possible for any other pharmacy to open on Lodge Lane as a condition of the consolidation application.
