New B&Q Opens

The new B&Q has opened in Beverley Way, New Malden. The state of the art store includes solar panels and wind turbines on site to generate 10% of its own energy requirements, earning it the proud title of “eco store”. The big tower you can see it on has signage which is self powered!

The New Malden branch of Woolworths closed its doors for good on Saturday December 27th. The famous chain - part of the fabric of the UK High Street - announced its closure after failing to find a buyer to take on the troubled stores.

A closure timetable was announced, with the New Malden branch being in the first tranche of closures on Dec 27th, with all the remaining stores to close by Jan 5th.

The branches in Hook (Chessington), Guildford and Wimbledon also closed last Saturday. Epsom and Kingston branches are due to close today (Jan 2nd).
