Toots Sweets, Northgate, Oakham, Closed Down

Toots Sweets closed down after only four and a half years. Its only a rumour at the moment, it looks like another three high street stores will be closing their doors later this month. A very difficult a worrying time for traders.
This morning I was asked what is the town council doing. My response is we can't do anything we can ask landlords to keep empty premises up to a standard and yes they can ignore us. If we end up with no shops or pub we could run one, but I rather think the council will leave that to Tesco, Waitrose or Sainsbury.
