I WAS sorry to learn about the potential job loss at BHS in Basingstoke branch and have been pleased with the standard of service.

However it did not move forward with the times for example not introducing online shopping.

Businesses should not always blame hard economic times for their problems.

Woolworths collapsed in 2008 not due to the recession but because it did not change its product ranges and other store chains survived.

It is sad that an institution that started out as a single shop in 1928 will probably not survive.

Secondly, have readers in Oakley and Tadley been satisfied with the service received from Kit Malthouse MP?
