Commenting, Sir Oliver said “I was shocked to learn that Morrisons are considering shutting the Royston store. I have been a long-term customer and I know how many older people use the shop regularly. This is devastating news for the loyal shop staff, who have worked so hard during the Covid-19 crisis. I shall be contacting the Chief Executive to ask him to reconsider. I hope our local councils will do the same. We do not want to lose our largest town centre supermarket.”
