Disappointed with the news that Marks and Spencer have decided to close their Outlet store on Redcar High Street, Ian Swales MP has written to management to urge them to reconsider.

Ian Swales commented:

“We’ve had a lot of investment in Redcar in recent years, including the regeneration of the seafront and the recently opened civic and leisure centre. The constituency has received a significant amount of Government funding and I continue to push for further investment.

“Finally unemployment is down, industry is growing again and the town is really on the up. I think the decision to close the store is short sighted and I have urged Marks and Spencer to reconsider.”
