Millets to stay open

The Hertford branch of Millets has been spared after Black's announced the closure of 89 of it's branches.

The outdoor clothing retailer is struggling to stay afloat after missing it's sales target for the six months to the end of August. Lloyds TSB has frozen the company's banking arrangements whilst the company restructures.

Blacks employs around 5,000 people nationwide at more than 400 stores.
