Terrible to think that it may close.

]]> Thu, 6 Aug 2009 02:13:58 UTC 6010213 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6009158?utm_medium=rss Borders is a great shop, we already have several clothes shops at Orbital.

]]> Thu, 6 Aug 2009 10:34:49 UTC 6009158 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6007720?utm_medium=rss This is a tragedy as the staff are so helpful and Borders will get almost any book for you.
A huge loss to SWindon!

Borders is such a fantastic bookshop and along with Starbucks has a certain atmosphere about it that will be very missed.

]]> Tue, 4 Aug 2009 01:15:28 UTC 5998898 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5997814?utm_medium=rss From my point of view is very sad if Bordes clouse as I try to encourage my son to love books and this is the best and the only big bookshop we have in Swindon. Also they do a lot activities for children and my son love that shop. I am teacher and I go often to buy material I need for my lessons. I don't think everybody prefer only cloths as if we like to encourage children to have good future their need good education and for this reason is good to buy books and not only cloths.

]]> Tue, 4 Aug 2009 09:37:10 UTC 5997814 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5996814?utm_medium=rss Borders sells a variety of book which no other book store offers in Swindon. I don't know where I'll turn to in order to get rare and interesting books if Borders shuts down. Not only is it a warm and welcoming place it's also used by a wide range of people and age ranges. It brings the community together.

]]> Tue, 4 Aug 2009 05:46:56 UTC 5996814 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5996239?utm_medium=rss As a mature student I find Borders very useful, the staff are helpful and it's nice not having to get into town to order books.

]]> Sun, 2 Aug 2009 03:26:53 UTC 5988275 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5987090?utm_medium=rss Swindon desperately needs a good quality bookshop with xcellent staff who love books. Swindon will be a cultural wasteland without it.

]]> Sat, 1 Aug 2009 01:59:04 UTC 5983786 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5983024?utm_medium=rss Borders in the community was one of the reason we chose this area to move to! Don't take away one of our favourite amenities.

]]> Sat, 1 Aug 2009 10:11:44 UTC 5983024 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5980038?utm_medium=rss What a hole this will leave in Swindon for all people who love books. If Borders shuts then we should make sure that 'New Look' fails to be a success in North Swindon and has to close .

]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 05:02:09 UTC 5980038 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5979965?utm_medium=rss I was gutted when I heard that Borders was closing. It is a huge part of the North Swindon community and a meeting place for many people. The fact that it houses Starbucks and Paperchase add even more of an attraction to the store. It would be a real loss to this area and New Look is no match whatsoever! I do hope the people that matter are going to listen to the voices of the public and reconsider their decision.

]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:49:44 UTC 5979965 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5979935?utm_medium=rss Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:43:10 UTC 5979935 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5979764?utm_medium=rss Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:04:06 UTC 5979764 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5979503?utm_medium=rss I love going to Borders to look at Beast Quest books.

]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 03:11:58 UTC 5979503 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5979494?utm_medium=rss North Swindon Borders has become somewhere for people to meet, talk, read and share. What does this closure say to my children about the importance of reading and books?

]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:25:41 UTC 5972804 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5971983?utm_medium=rss only decent bookshop for many miles in every direction

Books are good for life.

Borders provides a variety. My children and me love buying books there.

]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:04:19 UTC 5970993 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5970597?utm_medium=rss I really prefer decent book shop to another clothes.....

My family and I have used it for years and will greatly miss its departure.

It is the only book shop that has up to date books plus a huge variety of Titles. There is nothing else at The Orbital Site except a few 'pop' type paper backs in Asda.

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:26:42 UTC 5966402 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5966150?utm_medium=rss you are depriving us of the only decent bookshop in the area.

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:14:01 UTC 5965105 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964902?utm_medium=rss Ridiculous to close this hugely popular store. There will be no decent well stocked bookshop left in Swindon. It brings much needed culture to the town - why another New Look, there is already a big store in the city centre?!

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:21:54 UTC 5964902 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964778?utm_medium=rss Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:53:41 UTC 5964778 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964682?utm_medium=rss This is my nearest and by far the best bookshop around and there are plenty of places to buy clothes already.

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:33:23 UTC 5964682 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964680?utm_medium=rss I love this store, it is the only store of it's kind in Swidon and the Starbucks is a real gem in this area of Swindon. We have nothing like it and it would be such a shame to see it go. The replacement with a New Look store will really send the image of North Swindon Orbital down hill. If it is replaced it should not be with a New Look store.

My grandad fought in the war to protect our borders and now this govt is doing all it can to get rid of them.

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 03:41:57 UTC 5964453 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964216?utm_medium=rss We already have a New Look. It's huge, and it's in the town centre. Borders is the last shred of remaining culture we have left in Swindon, don't let this disappear!

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:44:32 UTC 5964216 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964126?utm_medium=rss It's the only decent bookshop in town!

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:22:35 UTC 5964126 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5964030?utm_medium=rss We do not have many good book shops in Swindon we have borders and waterstones, and if we lose borders it would be a real loss as they sell an array of other products besides books, and are an asset in my opinion to Swindon.

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:59:03 UTC 5964030 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5963898?utm_medium=rss Borders is a hub of activity, a place of knowledge and escapism contained within the many books. I and a lot of my friends will miss this wonderful place and its friendly staff. Please don't take it away from us.

]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 01:22:45 UTC 5963898 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5962357?utm_medium=rss Closure will mean a huge loss to Swindon and a greater loss to me. I spend many hours browsing and discovering new books. A great meeting place to share a coffee and views on books. A teacher, I have met many others in the educational section where I've swapped and shared ideas.
Swindon needs a bookshop the size of Borders

]]> Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:29:36 UTC 5962357 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5961875?utm_medium=rss This is an absolutely unnecessary bookshop closure, the loss of a social resource and popular meeting place. It is no fit reward for the dedication, knowledge and downright friendliness of the staff. Shame on all those involved in the decision

]]> Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:35:23 UTC 5961875 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5961784?utm_medium=rss Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:18:41 UTC 5961784 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5961477?utm_medium=rss Please don't close Borders. It is somewhere the whole family enjoys and encourages reading which is such an important skill. I am a teacher and have always found the children's book area invaluable. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T CLOSE BORDERS.

]]> Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:55:37 UTC 5961105 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5961079?utm_medium=rss We do not need another clothes shop. We want a book shop. A huge cross-section of the public use this shop - the children's section is really good. The nearest book shop will be in Swindon - but does not have the facilities of Borders plus you have to pay for parking - definitely no to another clothing shop

]]> Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:41:22 UTC 5959760 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5959750?utm_medium=rss If children in Swindon are taken seriously, they must have the opportunity to purchase books in a well established & reputable bookstore rather than being viewed as consumers and a commercial target by YET another kids’ clothing retailer. Any Council planning committee involved in decision making concerning Swindon’s business and commerce must take on board the obvious educational implications for the area if only one bookshop was left standing in Swindon!
