One established shop, that has been a big part of Chipping Sodbury High Street for a number of years will be closing down.

It has been confirmed that M&Co will be closing later this month on August 24.

A spokesperson for The Chamber of Commerce said: “We were dismayed to hear about the closure of M&Co in Chipping Sodbury, it’s one of our largest retail outlets and will be greatly missed.

“Keeping a variety of retailers in the high street, large and small, is key to it’s survival.

“The Staff at M&Co have been great supporters of the town over the years and we hope they will go on to find other employment.

“Like many others we hope that whatever replaces M&CO, will draw customers to to high street.

“This is a reminder that where possible people should shop locally and support the businesses in the high street.”
