Shoppers in Long Eaton say the town needs ‘its originality and buzz back’. New Look in Long Eaton closed in March 2021 and was put up for sale in February 2021, leading to some residents saying there was a lack of places to buy clothes from.
The retailer also previously closed stores in Beeston and Arnold which left shoppers ‘gutted’. With the closure of the store, shoppers say there is only Tesco or Asda left for them to shop at.
We spoke to local residents who gave their views on what they want to see in the high street. Linda McKay, who is 70 and is retired, told Nottinghamshire Live that she hopes for more clothes stores. Mrs McKay said: “We could do with a nice ladies shop - there’s nowhere. You could have one women's side and one men's side. They should have a one that's more mature.
