The Boots Pharmacy in Woolbrook has announced it will be closing its doors in February 2024.

The store is in close proximity to the other Boots Pharmacy and Eye Care centre in Sidmouth High Street, which is the reason why Boots have decided to close the store.

A spokesman for Boots Pharmacy told the Herald: "We continually evolve our store estate and our priority is making sure that our stores are in the right location and are able to offer our customers a consistently excellent and reliable service.

"Over the next year, we will continue to consolidate several stores which are near each other – the majority of which are within 2km. This will help us to focus our investment to create a consistently fresh and up to date environment for our customers as well as concentrating our team members where they are most needed.

"Pharmacy services will be continued at your nearest open store, where we continue to offer pharmacy services for customers and patients.

"We’d also like to reassure you that all team members have been offered opportunities in other stores in the local area. "
