A DEPARTMENT store has announced it will close its remaining 11 stores - including in Chipping Norton's High Street.

All Beales stores are set to close, placing hundreds of jobs at risk.

The news follows an announcement last week that the store was one of 11 that would not be closing.

The 139-year-old retailer fell into administration last month, and soon after announced plans to close 12 of its 23 stores.

The remaining stores are expected to stay open for about eight weeks, while closing down sales take place.
