The bottom floor of the Next Home and Beauty store in Atria Watford has been sealed off to the public as works are carried out.

The shop features two levels but builders have put up white boards around the ground entrance and for the time being is off limits to customers.

The ground floor is where people could look for homeware like furniture and bedding.

However, people can still visit the store and shop for beauty products and accessories on the upper floor.

The extension to Costa on the ground level is also open.

It is unclear what work is being carried out at the moment.

Atria Watford and Next have been approached for further details.

The Next Home and Beauty store opened in October 2020 in place of Debenhams.
