Edinburgh residents are fighting to save a local post office that councillors say the Morrisons Group are planning on closing after acquiring the unit.
Euan Hyslop, an SNP councillor for the Drum Brae/Gyle ward, has said that a legal entity/arm for Morrisons, Property Holdings Limited, had acquired the RS McColls store at the Neuk on St John’s Road in the capital as part of a larger purchase.
He added that they are planning on closing the store and that chats with workers at the business - who are believed to have been kept relatively in the dark - have said that profitability concerns are behind the move.
