A supermarket that opened just over a year ago is set to close its doors.

The Morrisons M Local shop, in Church Street, Enfield Town, opened in early September, 2013 in the premises of the former HMV record shop that traded there for more than 35 years.

The supermarket has announced that the branch will close at the the end of November.

The supermarket opened a second store earlier this year in Colman Parade, less than a mile from the Church Street store.

Laura Stubbs, spokeswoman for Morrisons, said: “All our colleagues are moving to our store down the road in Colman Parade or other convenience stores nearby.

“Just like other retailers, we modify our estate based on an evaluation of properties, their remaining lease and whether they remain commercially viable.”

Enfield Borough Council cabinet member for economic development Alan Sitkin said he is keen to bring variety to the town centre.

He said: “We are not complacent and will continue doing everything we can to keep our town centres thriving. It’s true we don’t control all relevant factors and we call on commercial landlords to be as accommodating in their dealings with local businesses as the council has been.

“We want to see variety in the town centre. I would like to have more comedy nights and improve the nightlife in the heart of town.

“We have taken the initiative of calling for a meeting with Enfield’s private commercial agents to try and convince them of the economic and business soundness of this new approach."

Mark Rudling of Enfield Business & Retailers Association admitted he was "very disappointed" by the latest news.

He added: "I’m very disappointed that Morrisons are pulling out of their Church Street premises after such a short time, particularly in the run up to Christmas.

"They will be retaining a presence in Enfield Town with their modern Morrisons M convenience store in Colman Parade, Southbury Road."

Joanne Laban, deputy leader of the Conservative group said: "I believe this is an example of why it is now essential to look at the level of business rates as they are now affecting well-known brands as well as small independent stores.

"This also shows why it was the mistake of the Labour Council not to invest money from the Mayor's Regeneration Fund to revitalise Enfield Town when the fund was created after the riots.

"The Council now has an Econonmic Development Department so I suggest they use it to stop more retailers leaving or just moving from the High Street into Palace Gardens or Palace Exchange creating more vacant shops on the High Street and to try and find new retailers to fill the vacant shops."
