WORK on a vacant store in the centre of Taunton appears to be going on.

Boarding has been put up around the former Clarks shoe shop on the corner of High Street and Fore Street.

Workers are inside the building, but the County Gazette has as yet not ascertained whether a new business will be moving in in the near future.

The shop closed at the beginning of November last year, ending a lengthy presence in the town.

It has since emerged that Clarks is planning to open in East Street in premises previously home to House of Tweed, which closed in January this year.

Work is currently being carried out inside that building.

Clarks has so far not responded to the County Gazette's request for a comment.
