RETAILER Argos has said no decision has yet been made over which of its 75 stores could be closed or relocated.
Parent company Home Retail Group said it was moving more of its business online and plans to trim its 739-strong store estate and move shops into shorter leases to be able to relocate as part of a plan to use stores as product pick-up points for online orders.
A spokesman said it was too early to say what would happen to stores such as those at Torquay and Newton Abbot.
"This is a five-year plan and it will probably affect ten stores a year, but the staff would be informed first of any store closure," she said.
Lifeboat launches
THERE were five lifeboat launches within hours of each other off South Devon on Sunday morning.
Both Torbay's offshore and inshore lifeboats were involved in the rescue of the fishing vessel Nemo off Paignton early on Sunday, October 21 (see page 5).
Next, both Torbay lifeboats were involved in a false alarm with good intent off Berry Head.
While they were still dealing with that incident at 10.30am the Teignmouth inshore lifeboat was sent to reports of a liferaft adrift with two people on board off Maidencombe beach.
That turned out to be two people reportedly from the beach cafe at Maidencombe on a fishing trip.
"They were in a vessel fishing and quite happy," Brixham coastguards reported.
Man rescued
A DEVON Air Ambulance was sent toTeignmouth to help a man with cardiac problems and transfer him to hospital on Saturday.
He was conveyed to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Wonford, at lunchtime.
