Local residents attended the demonstration
Local city and district councillors will ask Lincolnshire Co-op to rethink plans to shut its Winning Post Pharmacy on Carholme Road, Lincoln.
“I will be writing to them today to ask them to reconsider. There could be a trial period with a lot of promotion to make it better known that the pharmacy is there, and at risk, to see if numbers go up. There needs to be better promotion of the facilities available. “It will be good if it can be kept open because obviously if you are not very well, you don’t want to be travelling too far away from home.”A map showing which pharmacies can be reached within a ten minute walk. | Map: Jon Davies
He put together a map showing which pharmacies can be reached within a ten minute walk, and how closing the Carholme Road facility would create a gap in the local provision.“If they respond to the councillors and to me with a confirmation that the plans for closure will be withdrawn, I’m happy not to undertake any further actions. But I would be happy to work with them to see how they can better market the existence of the local pharmacy – something they have failed to do in the past five years.
