Newport store under threat

The units will stay vacant on The Isle of Wight plus other towns whilst landlords charge ridiculous rents, council business rates are reduced so to attract retailers like other councils have introduced and been successful at. Newport has become a ghost town as far as quality retailers go. Unless the council take action, Islanders will continue to shop on the mainland in greater numbers, holiday makers will use Fast Cat or Hovertravel to go across to Portsmouth to spend their money. Lets hope the council start to take care of the Islanders Trades instead of themselves.

Or the 101st coffee shop

Cool. Another shop on the high street gone. So many empty spaces. Lets hope we get another pawn shop or bookies. Yippee!!

There was news this morning of a possible buyout though so all should be fine. S Jones. I wouldnt worry, you will definitely get your camera back - they are still trading.
Worst case scenario is that they do an overnight close like Peacocks, if your item is still under warranty you can contact the manufacturer. They will always return your goods as the Administrators can't keep anything that isn't the companies. The only thing that could be affected really is online orders that haven't been fulfilled.

I'm no legal expert but I can at least google stuff: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/consumer_e/consumer_taking_action_e/consumer_common_actions_e/consumer_problems_contacting_the_trader_e/trader_has_gone_into_administration_or_liquidation.htm

@ S Jones: All I can suggest is that you go into the store and make enquiries. I would have thought that as the camera belongs to you and is your property they would have to ensure safe return. But then again, I'm no legal expert.

Anyone know what happens to goods they have of yours that have been sent of for repair please? A camera of mine was returned the end of December as it was not working correctly and they sent it of to be repaired? It was only brought the end of August so reading this has been a bit upsetting. Any advice?
