We need to ensure it's continuence. Why should theatres get all the subsidies and STILL charge excessive prices which exclude most of us...oh, and most of them are in London which also excludes most of us. In which sense is the National Theatre a national theatre?

But it will have a massive effect on retail park and in shopping centre's that are located next to a Borders stores. We attract alot of customers that primarily visit the bookshop but then as a result would often walk around the retail park and visit other stores. Closure of Borders stores would have a major knock on effect on these other businesses too.

]]> Tue, 8 Dec 2009 01:49:07 UTC 6653491 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6653472?utm_medium=rss As an employee of bothe the Cheshire Oaks and Islington branches, I'm keenly aware of the value that Borders offers as a meeting place, or simply a place to gather ones thoughts offers. I'd imagine that this loss will be fely by community and the local economy in many locations. This is, of course, before we even begin to consider the impacts on the 1,100 employed nationwide by Borders and the publishing industry that stands to lose an estimated £35m in trade from this closure.

In creating an enjoyable atmosphere around a world of books we are driving the education of so many. Online retailers may be able to sell books with percentages off but you cannot buy the atmosphere of a bookshop or feel the weight of a book in your hand and know that its the right one for you. It is vital that Borders is saved.

I hope we can turn this around and get borders reopened.Bournemouth needs a book shop like borders. They are successful in america, how can they not be successful here?

I adore the store and applied countless times for jobs at both the Newcastle and Leeds store. I have had the most wonderful time working for Borders UK and am heartbroken to see it's demise.
I KNOW from first hand experience, the passion, dedication and care that goes into bookselling and in a decreasing area of retail, the cosy bookstore is going to be a thing of the past. Please help to stop this.

Even worse was the behaviour of New Look towards those of us who applied for jobs at stores that were meant to open in locations where 5 of the Borders stores stood. Philip Downer is an asset stripper, I cant believe he allowed the whole company to go down like that. I hope he ends up losing the millions he made out of this deal. Cheeky *&^%$#@!!
