WORK is progressing ahead of the opening of a new Jack Wills clothes store in Taunton.

Internal and external work is being carried out on the store on the edge of the Orchard Shopping Centre.

The store has been rumoured to be opening since last year when planning permission was sought for the building on Fore Street.

But the planning permission was withdrawn, dampening any hope the shop would be coming to town.

But now, fresh applications have been submit and the store has announced that the 'scheduled' opening date will be September 6.
