Save our local Coop!
Keep our local Coop store in Over Hulton, Bolton open, remove it from the list of stores earmarked for release to the R.S.McColl group
Why is this important?
We have had a coop store in Over Hulton since the turn of the last century. The store is the hub of the community, also housing the local post office. Other stores in the near locality have also been selected for takeover by McColl's, leaving residents without local access to a coop store.
Residents do not want R.S. McColls, they do not provide the same range or ethical quality of goods that that Coop sells and do not provide the member services offered by the Cooperative organisation. A petition has been instigated by myself and Denise Sullivan another resident and over the course of just one week we have collected 15000 signatures in support of our cause, including our local MP who lives in the vicinity.
