Shop Closes

A SHOREHAM trader is closing down his business after 26 years because he says it is no longer viable in the town.

Alex McKenzie-Orr has been running his grocery and garden store, on the corner of Connaught Avenue and Freehold Street, since 1975.

Despite offering free evening deliveries and a comprehensive selection of vegetables and home-grown plants, he said he was losing business to the larger out-of-town stores.

Mr McKenzie-Orr said: People don t look around like they used to years ago.

They want to get everything under one roof.

The old days were different. Mothers used to go around all the small shops in Shoreham. But they don t now.
