Lucky escape for Peacocks in Tonbridge....
I hear that Peacocks in Tonbridge is to remain open. This must come as a heck of a relief for those employed by the chain. I understand from BBC news reports that around 230 stores in other towns up and down the country weren't so fortunate as new owners, Edinburgh Woollen Mills, decided to close them down with immediate effect. That's the harsh reality of the High Street retail business at the moment....

With towns like Ashford, Folkestone, Chatham, Dartford and Gravesend loosing their Peacocks it must mean that despite the gloom merchants, trading in Tonbridge is holding up better than other parts of Kent. The percentage of closed shops in the High Street is far less than the 14% national average. Even having a Cheque changer is better than having an empty shop.
Only marginally better!!
