A TYRE fitting garage has closed after more than 20 years in business.

Severn Fast Fit Tyres, based on Pool Road closed earlier this month.

A statement on the company’s Facebook page said: “Unfortunately the time has come where I must announce with a heavy heart that Severn Fast Fit will close permanently after 21 years.

“We’ve had our ups and downs over the years but overall it’s been a pleasure to work in Newtown and we’ve had the opportunity of getting to know so many lovely people through their support of the business.

“I’ve been lucky to have worked with some great people too and I thank them all for their contributions but most significantly Martyn and Alwyn.

“I apologise for the delay in making this announcement but it’s been a tough decision to finally act upon.

“I also apologise to those who have come to rely on us to look after their motoring needs.

“Finally I’d like to thank all those who have supported us both as customers and in our supply chain.

“Best of luck to all in these difficult times.”
