A GREGGS store in Bournemouth remains closed while maintenance works take place.

The bakery in Old Christchurch Road shut suddenly on Friday, with a handwritten notice taped to the door initially reading: “Dear customers, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we are closed until further notice. Thank you for your understanding. – Greggs.”

However, the shelves had been cleared and workmen could be seen inside the store before the windows were covered up.

An updated notice stated: "Due to issues we are having to close today and tomorrow [...] and will be open as quickly as possible."

The store was still shut yesterday, and a spokesperson for Greggs could not confirm when it would re-open.

"Hopefully soon," they said, adding: "The Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, shop has been closed for maintenance."

They said further details of the work would be issued once it is completed.
