Town centre continues to struggle after more shops close their doors

COLERAINE town centre is continuing to struggle with more than 30 vacant business premises scattered throughout the main shopping streets.
The recent closure of four more units has sparked growing concern over the future of the high street as online sales and rising costs continue to take their toll on takings.
‘Martha’s House,’ ‘Ace-It Academy,’ ‘Frame it’ and ‘Wool & Things’ have all shut up shop, leaving even more empty space to fill.
