The Colchester B&Q store site - which is to be taken on by Sainsbury's once it B&Q has relocated to its new home in Stane Retail Park - has been put up for sale for £29,225,000.

Earlier this month, it was reported that B&Q had signed up to a two-year lease extension on the site, despite plans by Sainsbury's to start work on converting the site later this year.
