SHAFTESBURY’S former branch of Woolworths has reopened as a clothes shop.

Town mayor, Cllr Lester Dibben, cut the ribbon on the M&CO shop on the town’s High Street.

“It’s great that companies like this still come and support our vibrant high street, and long may it continue,” said Cllr Dibben.

The store is expected to employ 12 local people.
