Work is well underway on site at a new B&Q store opening in South Warwickshire this month.

The DIY retailer bought the Homebase store on Myton Road as part of a £2.5 million deal to buy five of the closing down stores.

Work is well underway on site converting the huge retail unit into a new B&Q store.

As well as Click + Collect, the new B&Q will have a timber cutting service, key cutting service, paint mixing, bathroom showroom, kitchen showroom and Rug Doctor hire.
