Its employees have been told of its intention to close the store and to find an alternative site.

Andrew McDonnell, Divisional Director of London & East Anglia, B&Q, said:

“We have been in Colchester for nearly 30 years and we remain committed to serving the community of Colchester. Through this deal we intend to secure a new store and to offer our Colchester customers the best home improvement products and services, along with the help and advice needed to undertake their projects.
