THE newest shop in town in Ledbury is Specsavers, the opticians.

Specsavers have opened for business at 3 The Homend, in Ledbury, close to the Market House.

The eight-strong team will be led by optometrist director John Roberts who will be joined by co-directors; father and son Nialle and Darren Smith.

Mr Roberts has previously worked at the store in Hereford.

Day to day, the store will be run by Nialle’s daughter, dispensing optician Rebecca Smith.

Mr Roberts said: "We’re thrilled to be opening the new store and are looking forward to welcoming customers through the doors.

"I’ve learnt a huge amount in my years working at Specsavers in Hereford and I’m sure this new store will give me the opportunity to put this into practice."
