TOPSHOP bosses have responded to concerns over the future of the Barrow store amid a number of closures nationally.

The fashion chain has closed a number of its stores across the country following a poor Christmas trading period.

And signs have gone up listing the Topman and Topshop store in Barrow's Portland Walk for rent with estate agent Peill and Co.

But bosses from the company have said the store is to remain open and will be unaffected by any change in tenant for the unit. Twelve stores have closed in 2020.
