If any proof were needed of the depth of the current crisis in the economy, it is the plight of one of the county’s (and Dumbarton’s) longest established retailers. WE have to assume that Woolies were one of the names on the recent list drawn up by Traynor Begbie on the hundreds of firms with more than a 70% chance of insolvency before the end of January 2009.
Woolworths is a member of Business for Dumbarton and we wish them well in all attempts to find a way of saving the company. The shop is one of the best remaining in our town centre and we don’t want to lose them or the many jobs and customers they bring to the town.
