Anger as 'cherished' café faces closure

A CAFÉ that has long served as a social hub is facing closure - and residents are rallying to save it.

Tessa Lawson has launched a petition to stop Marks & Spencer from shutting its café inside the Tiverton store, describing it as a “cherished gathering place” relied upon by generations of locals.

In her petition on Change.org, Tessa wrote: “The café inside Marks & Spencer holds a special place in my heart, as well as in the hearts of countless other community members and visitors.

“It's not just any café; it’s a cherished gathering place, a community hub.”
