A CHARITY shop which has been at the Cathedral Plaza for many years has had to move temporarily due to renovation work.

The YMCA shop, run by Jonathan Catling, is now situated at 1 High Street, just to the left of the entrance to the NCP car park.

This shop will also be demolished in the near future through all the renovation work that is planned and YMCA is currently looking for a permanent home.

Mr Catling said the temporary shop is kitted out to resemble a retro vintage boutique but still carries all the usual items such as bric-a-brac, clothing and books and is always on the look out for donations of goods to sell.
