Sir Robert Buckland MP has made a statement on the announcement by Boots that they plan to close the Wood St chemist in Feb 2024.
The South Swindon MP said: “I am very concerned to hear that Boots in Wood Street has informed customers that they will be closing in February 2024.
“I am aware that this local pharmacy is used by many local residents in Old Town, particularly those who are elderly and may struggle with mobility.
“My Wood St office is very close to Boots, so I use the chemist myself.
“I have requested an urgent phone call with Boots CEO Sebastian James. I have also contacted NHS England, as well as NHS South, Central and West (NHS SCW), to raise urgent concerns on behalf of all of the local residents who use Boots in Old Town, as well as the staff who work there.”
