One of Halstead’s shops has closed its doors.
Going Underground, in The Centre, off Halstead High Street, announced in September that it was only opening on Saturdays due to illness.
However, the shop, run by couple Simon Barber and Janine Finlayson, is now empty, with a “for let” sign in its window.
Neither of the couple were available to comment although both were approached.
Chair of Halstead Chamber of Trade Anne-Maree Robertson said: “I believe the shop has closed due to the ill health of one of the owners.
“It is one of those things but it is sad."
