The chain wants to expand its branch on the Forge Retail Park from its existing 12,000 square feet to 26,000 sq ft, largely to accommodate a new Next Home store which is expected to open on June 25.

But the existing Next Home shop on nearby Telford Bridge Retail Park will close in mid-June.

A spokesman for Next said all staff will move over to the new store and no new jobs will be created.

Next has 541 stores across the UK and Ireland, including one in Telford Town Centre and two in Shrewsbury on Pride Hill and Meole Brace Retail Park.
