A florist who says Brexit forced her to shut her Witney town centre store has urged shoppers to continue supporting independent businesses.
Rosa Ashby had run Rosa Flowers in Wesley Walk for 22 years, but closed the store on Monday due to spiralling costs.
Mrs Ashby revealed Brexit uncertainty and a rise in the price of imported flowers since the 2016 referendum was the 'last straw' for the company.
The store imported all its flowers from the Netherlands, but the Witney resident said prices had risen by a fifth since the referendum.
And with Britain failing to leave by the scheduled departure date of March 29 this year, Mrs Ashby, who supports a People's Vote on Brexit, fears costs are likely to increase further.
