A SUPERMARKET giant is set to shutter one of its high street shops in just a few days. Tesco has confirmed it will be closing the site on January 27. The Chadwell Heath Tesco Express store in High Road, Romford will shut it doors for the last time at the end of the month, according to the Barking & Dagenham Post.

The announcement of its closure was made back in December, but the final date has now been set. It will no doubt come as a disappointment to locals. Posting on a local Facebook group one said: "It is now official, a notice in the window of the Tesco Express in the High Road states that it will be closing at the end of January.
"The site was previously occupied by the F W Woolworth store. Known as Woolworths store number 912, this was the nine-hundred and twelfth branch of Woolworths to open in the British Isles, in 1955. This store closed in January 2009.". One commented: "Shame. I suppose there's too many shoplifters and wronguns knocking about.".
While another said: "Chadwell Heath high road is going to look even worse now!. "Only decent store left is Sainsbury’s the rest of the street is a total dump.". A third posted: "Sad as nice staff, I don't do big tescos, too impersonal.". While a fourth wrote: "Just heard from security in Tesco Express Chadwell Heath is closing in January? WTAF???.
