B&M has announced it will be opening its doors to its new High Wycombe store to bargain-hunters on March 8.

There was huge excitement among residents when the Bucks Free Press announced earlier this month that B&M was planning to open a store in Red Lion House on the High Street.

It has now been revealed that the opening of the new shop will create more than 35 jobs for local people.
