A spokesman for Boots said: “At Boots, we aim to serve our patients however and wherever they need us, both in stores and online.

"We continually review our store and pharmacy network to ensure that we balance our commitment to offer provision where it is most needed with our need to adapt to a changing market environment.

“Following a recent review, we can confirm that the pharmacy provision in our store in Beacon Retail Park will close later this month. The Boots store will remain open for our customers.

“We can also confirm that our store in Bletchley Brunel Centre will close in April 2022. Our nearby store at Kingston, Milton Keynes, will continue to offer pharmacy and retail services to our customers.”
