A PETITION to re-open the closed Derrys department store in Plymouth seems to be attracting more support from the Cornish side of the Tamar than the Plymouth side.

Surely that cannot be right. Come on Plymouth residents, if you have not done it already please sign the petition at www.petition.co.uk/derrys or write a supporting letter to reopen the store to The Chief Executive, The Co-operative Group, New Century House, Corporation Street, Manchester M60 4ES.

Please spread the word about this online petition to family, friends and neighbours.
