At present Maplin are still open and not sure if they have a closing date. I'm still hoping they are saved as there is no get it now alternative. <br>

My local maplin has this sign in the window, mentioned this week by Chris Hawkins <a href="https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/business/2018/05/01/before-you-ask-were-closing-sign-of-the-times-at-shrewsbury-maplin-store/">https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/business/2018/05/01/before-you-ask-were-closing-sign-of-the-times-at-shrewsbury-maplin-store/</a><br>

So until it happens and probably becomes yet another coffee shop we should do nothing. <br>
