Former M&S worker starts petition to save store

A former employee of Marks & Spencer (M&S) in Leicester has begun a petition to save the store.

The retailer confirmed on 1 May that it had made "the tough decision to propose to close" the Gallowtree Gate shop in Leicester.

Carl Gunns worked in the branch for over 30 years and felt 'he had to do something' to try and save the store.

M&S regional manager Calum Telford said workers at the store would be offered alternative roles in the business "wherever possible".

He confirmed investment would be made into the nearby Fosse Park store, adding that shopping habits were changing.

Carl told Sophia Hartley what difference he hoped the petition would make.
