A high street chain that has been in March for decades is to shut next year.

WHSmith in Broad Street will be closing on January 25. 

A spokesperson for WHSmith said: "We are disappointed to be losing our presence in March and we would like to thank all our customers for their support and for shopping with us.

"We are also extremely grateful for the commitment of our in store colleagues who we will support with this transition and redeploy to nearby stores, where possible.”
