We\u2019re investing in stores and communities right across the UK because we believe in the future of the high street \u2013 creating local jobs and backing British farmers and suppliers. However, sustained growth needs certainty, and the Government now has an opportunity at this week&#8217;s Budget to deliver the fair business rate reform needed to give retailer\u2019s the stability to invest and grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">Co-op is one of the world\u2019s largest consumer-owned co-operatives, with a history dating back more than 180 years and is owned by more than 7million members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">List of 11 stores opening in one week:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Frampton Cotterell, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Bristol<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Brent Cross Town, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">London<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Church Street, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Inverness<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Bassett Green Road, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Southampton<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Church Street, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Gamlingay, Bedfordshire<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Mansfield Road, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Clipstone, Nottinghamshire<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Kentish Town Road, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Kentish Town, London<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Brora, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Scottish Highlands<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Wordsworth Avenue, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Stratford-Upon-Avon<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Main Street, Swallownest, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Sheffield<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Stiby Road, <strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Yeovil<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They are part of 50 opening before Christmas and 200 opening this year Neil Shaw Assistant Editor 07:18,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,246,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-592376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-shopping","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115609189482474610","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
