THERE have been some great new additions to the city over the past month but there have also been many goodbyes from Worcester shoppers. 

Several businesses have been hit with rising costs or roadworks, forcing them to close for good.

We have rounded up all of the businesses in Worcester that have closed in the past month.

Philipa Ferguson, shop manager, said: "It is what it is. 

"We are one of the only baby shops in Worcester, so it's very disappointing to see such a safe shop go. 

"It really is a shame because Worcester has lost a safe space and we are going to miss seeing a lot of our regular friendly faces."

A spokesperson for the buisness said: "We tried to recuperate and have been struggling.

"It is absolutely terrible, and we decided we couldn't do it again.

"That is why we are closing."

Nelly Noo  

Where: St Andrew's St, Droitwich

Nelly Noo, a store selling various baby items and clothes, moved its business online after experiencing a "tough" six months.

The store officially closed on July 31, but its online website remains open.

A spokesperson for Nelly Noo said, "Over the past 18 months, local retail has taken a significant hit, not just here in Droitwich but in many towns as well.

"Unfortunately, I do not think it is getting easier for small business owners who would love to have a presence in our local towns."

This eatery has not technically closed.

However, the decision was made last month to stop serving food to the public. 

The pub will now only serve residents of the Premier Inn for the foreseeable future. 

At the time, Councillor John Rudge said: "Sarah and I are disappointed that the restaurant is shutting for the general public, and local residents in particular.

"I do hope that the Premier Inn chain might consider reopening for local residents at some point in the near future."
