“We are lucky to have a very loyal customer base, so hopefully they will understand the issues we’ve faced and bear with us. Our Louth store is still open and phone lines are diverted to there, we are also hoping to restart deliveries soon.”The Salvation Army on John Street also saw minor damage to carpets, but territorial envoy Terry Carpenter said the overwhelming feeling was one of regret, as he could not leave his house to help people during the crisis.
Heather, 64, and Helen, 60, work at the Boots store by the Market Place, and they were sat on camping chairs outside the shop on Wednesday morning to speak with the local community.
