According to this week's County Times Mothercare in West Street is closing for good in March. It looks like the most likely candidate to replace it is a Poundland.  As I mentioned in the Horsham Park Hotel thread. Something desperately needs to be done to boost the economy of our town. I think this gives weight to the argument for a new, quality, town centre hotel - wherever it may be built.

Not great news for the town. We really don't need a £ shop in place of a specialist supplier!

I think this is terrible. Mothercare is one shop you expect to see on your High Street. We most certainly do not need apound shop. We already have Wilkinson's which is really successful and Savers. We also have charity shops and pound shops at seasonal times of the year. We have plenty of shops catering for that end of the market. We need to see more of the normal High Street shops. Horsham is starting to look like a ghost town!

I did a bit more research on this today. It seems it is not only Horsham that this is happening to. Mothercare has decided to sell several of the properties it owns to Poundland. Unfortunatley, as is currently often the case in Horsham, the property is worth more than the business.
