"Without Waterstone's wood Green will lose any bit of culture it has left!!! I am furius. Who needs another clothes shop! it is disgusting and a total tragedy if this goes ahead."
"Education, education, education - and book shops play an essential role"
"Wood Green needs Waterstones. If you go, all we will have is clothes and pound shops. Please don't desert us. Now where will I spend all my money!!!!"
"I have used this shop regularly.Given that Waterstones took over the shop which was successfully established by Ottakars it would be very cynical it Waterstones were to close it. It would look like the worst kind of corporate behaviour."
"Books sell as well as clothes do, and we all need both!"
"Wood Green does not need any more clothes shops."
"Waterstone's appears not to be concerned with providing a service to the local community. Would this branch have closed if it was still owned by Ottakars?"
"ive worked at this store for almost 2years and it is so much more than a job to me! we have built up such an amazing relationship with the local community and it is such a shame to be leaving all the wonderful friends i have made (both staff and customers"
"Used to be a Haringey resident. The MP for neighbouring Tottenham is the Minister of Culture!"
"DONT MAKE US RELY ON WHSMITHS!"
"I used to shop a lot at wood green years ago and it is a very busy shopping centre, so dont think it is worthy to close a book shop down, as books are educational too."
"This is disgraceful. It seems that they are in a real hurry to close the shop. Where the hell can anyone get a good book from around here, now."
