NATIONAL DIY retailer Screwfix remains tight-lipped over potentially opening a store in Whitchurch.

Currently the nearest stores to Whitchurch involve a trip to either Wrexham, Shrewsbury or Nantwich.

Signs are currently in place in Shakeaspeare Way, suggesting a new store is on the the way and although there has been talk of a new store coming for at least a year, Screwfix has not revealed their plans fore the town.

A spokesman for the firm was enigmatic about the potential arrival of a new store in Whitchurch.

They said: "As we continue to grow our store network, bringing Screwfix even closer to busy tradespeople, we will announce details about each new store, including planned dates for opening in due course."
