City's oldest shop set to shut after 160 YEARS within weeks as shoppers mourn ‘terrible loss'
AN English city's oldest shop is set to pull the shutters down for the final time in weeks. WH Mogford & Son, a hardware shop in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, has been serving the community since the 1860s. However, the shop will close permanently this September. Owner Paul Gillam, who has worked there for 30 years, said soaring costs have made it impossible to keep the business running. In a post on Facebook, he said: "After 30 years in the business and knowing it's long history, sadly I have come to a very difficult decision to close the business permanently by the end of September 2025. "I have come to this decision due to the continuing decline in customer numbers, the increasing costs of stock, staffing, bank and utility charges and the desperate state of repair of the rented premises. "I would like to thank the many local customers who have support us over the years." Reacting to the news, one shopper said: "Very sorry to hear this. Have known the shop my entire life." Another added: "A huge loss to the village, you will be very much missed. "My sons call your shop 'the shop that sells everything." A third said: "That's terrible loss to the village." It comes as shops across the country struggle to survive in the changing consumer landscape. Both chain stores and independents have closed at an alarming rate, citing decreased footfall and rising prices as the reason behind the closures. Popular bank with over 400 spots confirms it is shutting 18 branches in August – it follows 148 closures by rivals Retail sector struggles The retail sector has struggled in recent years because of the rise of online shopping, lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic and decreased customer spending. Earlier this summer, the owners of Poundland confirmed they would shut 68 stores with 82 more at risk. Both Hobbycraft and The Original Factory Shop are also shutting branches as part of restructuring efforts. Higher inflation since 2022 has hit shoppers' budgets while businesses have struggled with higher wage, tax and energy costs. The Centre for Retail Research has described the sector as going through a "permacrisis" since the 2008 financial crash. Figures from the Centre also show 34 retail companies operating multiple stores stopped trading in 2024, leading to the closure of 7,537 shops. RETAIL PAIN IN 2025 The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year. It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: "The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025." Professor Bamfield has also warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector. "By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer's household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020."

Aston Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground extension approved
Plans for Aston Villa to expand their Bodymoor Heath training ground have been approved. The Premier League club applied to North Warwickshire District Council for permission to create a two-storey extension to the main building at the facility. Documents show the expansion would create a bigger and updated dining and nutrition area at first floor level for senior and junior project is the latest in a series of improvements at the Warwickshire training ground, with work under way to create better facilities for the club's women and youth teams and a permanent new office space for administrative and media staff. Marginal gains 'key' In the application, the club said it was "important" for them to improve their facilities to support its "ambition to stay at the top of elite levels of men's football, where marginal gains are key to success".The current dining facilities are "inadequate" to meet the current sport science requirements the club demands, they added.A council report, which recommended that the plans were approved, said that the new development is "appropriate" for the green belt site, because it would cause "limited harm" to the openness of the landscape. In the pipeline is a new centre with 40 bedrooms for players and staff to stay on site when they return from evening games.A purpose-built academy centre is also being built, following the demolition of a number of buildings, as well as a new 3G pitch, covered by a 15-metre dome.
