As Marks and Spencer announced the closure of its Broadmead store Metro Mayor Dan Norris said “For most of us, Marks and Spencer in Broadmead has been a Bristol fixture all of our lives. This is a real blow to a shopping centre that is at the heart of the community, and many people across the city and beyond will feel a sense of loss at this genuinely sad news.
“Importantly, I hope and expect Marks and Spencer will be working with their staff and their trade unions to support all workers who are affected.”
