CHIP SHOP TO CLOSE

A Stapleford chip shop has been put on the market after the owner said he can no longer afford to run the business. The present owner of Starfish Traditional Fish & Chips on Hickings Lane said he does not want to sell but energy costs, cost of the food, business rates and other bills have meant they simply can't afford to run it anymore. Former Broxtowe mayor councillor Richard MacRae who has been a regular customer said, “I officially opened the chip shop in February 2015 and have been a regular customer ever since. It is a sad loss for the area.”
