Let's Walk in Nailsea shopping precinct to close

Another Nailsea shop is closing.

Let's Walk in Colliers Walk is selling off all its stock of outdoor and travel clothes and accessories.

Owners Betsy and Ron Bebbington have decided not to renew the lease which runs out this April.

Ron, aged 58, said: "We will be closing between now and Easter when the lease is due for renewal.

"The actual date depends on how the sale is going but when the stock, fittings and fixtures are sold we will close."

The couple shut their shop in Thornbury in April last year blaming difficult trading conditions.

The Nailsea shop opened in 2002 and the Thornbury branch in May 2006.

Ron added: "There are bargains to be had and once it is all sold we will close the shop even if it is before the lease expires."

Last year Betsy, 47, ran the London Marathon to help raise vital funds for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).

She said at the time: "I decided to take part because in the past two years my two brother-in-laws, my mother- in-law, my son and a colleague's father have all been treated at the Bristol Heart Institute."

Betsy began running marathons four years ago and has so far competed in sixth.

Meanwhile the future of Peacocks hangs in the balance after the budget fashion chain went into administration last week.

The Nailsea store at Somerset Square opened nearly a decade ago and employs approximately 10 full and part-time staff.
