St Giles: Elgin’s only shopping centre set to close this month

Moray Council said it appreciated the news would be difficult for people employed at St Giles.

“The council is aware there has been a closure notice issued to tenants of the St Giles Centre by its owners,” a statement said.

“We appreciate this is sad and unsettling news for people employed there.”

The council added: “We currently have one vacant property on Elgin High Street available to traders, who are welcome to find out if it’s suitable for them.

“There are also a number of organisations available locally to assist with relocation or other employment opportunities should businesses need it.”

Councillor Marc Macrae, chairman of the economic development and infrastructure services committee, described it as “very disappointing” news, given “efforts over considerable time to try and assist the centre through difficult times”.

He added: “Thoughts are with the many staff of the centre and the retailers who have had this news sprung upon them so soon after the festive holidays.”
