Speculation was mounting about the future of the motoring and cycling shop at the Brierley Hill shopping centre after social media posts about a 'big rumour' the branch was set to close spread last week.

When approached by the Express & Star, staff members said they hadn't heard of the planned closure, while there were also attempts to get answers from the Merry Hill and Halfords press offices.

However, a sign has now appeared in the window saying: "This store's closing."
