Newark healthy lifestyle shop owner fuming at being 'bullied' by Greggs lorry

A woman says her business is suffering due to a Greggs lorry which keeps parking outside to make deliveries to the bakery next door. Wendy Baird runs the Tree Juice Bar and Wellbeing Studios in Stodman Street in Newark.

The business, which promotes healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, is located next to a Gregg's store - one of many run by the popular chain across Nottinghamshire. Since opening for the first time in November last year, Ms Baird says there have been persistent problems with huge lorries parking right outside her business' entrance in order to drop off stock next door.

Despite raising the issue with Greggs for months, her complaints have fallen on deaf ears, with the same problems persisting as they try to get customers through the door. The shop is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays but open for weekends, and Mrs Baird estimates at least twice a week the lorry turns up and parks in the same spot.
