Marks and Spencer is shutting three more shops in days - see list of latest closures

Marks and Spencer is shutting another three stores over the next few days as part of a major restructure of its business.

It comes following multiple closures that have already taken place this year.

The high street chain revealed last year that it plans to shut 67 of its larger "full line" stores with home and clothing ranges.

Instead, M&S will focus its effort on its food-only stores - with 104 more Simply Food shops to open over the next five years.

The supermarket chain wants to reduce its "full line" stores from 247 to 180, while increasing its food-only sites from 316 to 420.

In some places where an M&S store is closing, the retailer will open up a new shop in the same town, or nearby.

Three M&S stores have already closed to far this year - including two in Scotland and one in London, England.

The next shops to shut their doors forever are the Linthorpe Road branch in Middlesbrough, and the Deansgate store in Bolton, which will both close on April 15.

This is the last day shoppers will be able to browse these stores.

The M&S shop in Carlton Street, Castleford, will then close on April 22.

Here are the stores set to close, subject to ongoing consultations:

  • East Kilbride Shopping Centre - CLOSED February 25

  • Fenchurch Street, London - CLOSED March 31

  • Meadowbank retail park, Edinburgh - CLOSED April 1

  • Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough - April 15

  • Deansgate, Bolton - April 15

  • Carlton Street, Castleford - April 22

  • Newport Road, Cardiff - spring

  • Eagles Meadow, Wrexham - autumn

  • Deansgate, Bolton - date to be confirmed

Shoppers affected by the Wrexham closure will see a new M&S shop open in the nearby Plas Coch Retail Park instead.

M&S isn't the only retailer to confirm store closures this year.

Paperchase will be closing all of its remaining stores by next week after the stationery chain collapsed into administration.

The retailer has put a message on its "store finder" website which says its last day of trading is April 3.

The full message reads: "All of our stores will be closed soon, our last day of trade is 3rd April."

Argos will close its Cardiff Bay store in July, with its Newport, Wales, branch also to shut forever in the summer.

It comes as part of wider plans to move more standalone sites into Sainsbury's stores.
