The worry comes as Boots announced that a number of stores would close nationally to 'consolidate the businesses' with the retailer planning to reduce its total number of shops from 2,200 to 1,900.

The new round of closures comes as two stores in the Wolverhampton area face the axe, with both Castlecroft and Bradmore pharmacies facing closure later this year.

Talking to the Castlecroft store, a spokesperson confirmed that their closure date is set as March 21, with Bradmore Boots saying they can't comment on the exact date.
