Residents in North Bristol said the Boots chemist is vital for people without their own transport.
By Rachel CandlinThe Boots chemist on Southmead Road has been listed for closure in mid-January 2024.
"The news has come as a real blow to us," said Neil Goldsmith, who is part of the group opposing the closure. Boots said earlier this year that it will shut down stores in close proximity to each other as part of plans to "consolidate" the business. The BBC understands the majority of branch closures will be where there is an alternative Boots store within 1.2 miles .
The company said it had seen a surge in people shopping online and choosing own-brand labels as customers looked to save money.
