The Willesden Bookshop has started selling off its stock at bargain prices today but owner Steve Adams is adamant that this is not the death knell for the shop. This applies to all stock, including children's books.
He said that although the council has extended the lease until the end of August, the shop will be subject to a one week notice (either way) from the beginning of August. "We simply cannot move in one week so we are beginning to clear our stock now. We are still looking at alternatives in Willesden and hope to carry on, but we have to be practical at the same time."
He says of course that it would be wonderful if the council saw sense and by one means or another the planning application was withdrawn in the next few week.s
The shop is hoping to be able to carry on the much-valued service to local schools, even if it is not able to have a store front for a period. More details about this will be sent to schools over the next few days.
