THE new RSPCA shop has opened in Bromsgrove’s town centre.

Chairman of Bromsgrove District Council councillor Helen Jones dropped by to the store on Mill Lane on Tuesday, August 8, for the official opening.

Branch secretary Pamela Booker said: “We are delighted with the opening of our new fundraising shop with Helen Jones.

“It was an excellent first day's trading and many customers complimented us on the boutique look of the shop.

“Thanks are due to our shop manager Tracy, her wonderful volunteers, all who supported us and most importantly, all those kind and generous people who have donated such lovely items for us to sell for the animals.”
