A deal has been agreed for the Darlington store to stay open.

The Darlington branch of the department store will close at the end of the year, it is announced.

The Long Table and The Bike Drop are to leave their current home and set up in the former store.

The closure of the former House of Fraser building offers an opportunity, campaigners say.

Shoppers at Cavendish House in Cheltenham picked up the last few items before the doors closed for good.

Middlesbrough Council is set to sell the property to the mayoral-led local development corporation.

Caffè Nero which operates in the building will also shut, but it says it is looking for a new site.

House of Fraser has since issued a full refund and apologised to the customer following the mix up.
