Masala is Closing!

I thought Arabella moved to Exeter? Not exactly seaside! But whatever her
personal choices, the gossip I heard was that the final straw for her was
the lease coming to an end and the landlord wanting to raise the rent - in
line with what has happened in other premises in North Street. Certainly
the last charity shop closure (sadly missed by many of us!) was totally
about unaffordable rent.
Being an improving area seems to have an inbuilt self-destruct when rents
become "up and coming". Then of course the likes of Tesco can outbid anyone
else to start their usual trail of destruction against independant traders.
