WE are writing on behalf of Peacocks in Parkstone to thank all of our loyal customers for their support over the past few months and a special thank you to all those who signed our Save Peacocks petition.

Peacocks was bought in February by the Edinburgh Woollen Mill and sadly our branch was closed but as many of your readers will know, the good news is that the Parkstone branch was re-opened on Saturday April 7.

This is great news not only for us but for all the people who live and shop in Parkstone and Poole. We look forward to welcoming all our customers, existing and new into our store very soon – helping to keep our high street alive.

LOUISE VAILE AND LEANDA LEIGHTON, Peacocks, Ashley Road, Parkstone
