Hazlemere Lighting to close after 38 Years
Hazlemere Lighting the well known local store based in the parade by the crossroads has taken the decision to close after 38 years in business. The owners have decided with current circumstances affecting many small businesses its the right decision.
The shop has plenty of stock of lamps and bulbs so there is still time to visit. The owners would like to thank all their customers over the many years of trading. The final closing date will be announced in due course. (29-07-23)
