BROMSGROVE'S Waterstone's bookshop is to close.

The last day of trading will be a week on Saturday (July 28) and the closure will see seven jobs affected.

The shop, which is on the High Street, was formerly an Ottakar's store, but became a Waterstones in 2006, when it was taken over by HMV Group.

A Waterstone's spokesperson told The Standard: "It's always our intention, when we have to close a shop, and if the staff want, to relocate them where possible."

He added the staff at Bromsgrove's Waterstone's were currently being consulted.
