A SHOP selling sweets in Taunton is on the move in an attempt to attract more customers.

Lord Parker is relocating The Sweet Shop from East Reach to Crown Walk.

He has been trading from his current premises for around 18 months.

"For my particular type of shop I need to be more central to get more customers in through the door," said Lord Parker.

"I get six or seven customers a day where I am and I've wanted to move into central Taunton for some time."

The East Reach shop will close next Saturday (March 3), opening in the new premises, which have been vacant for a number of years, the following Monday.

"I'm really looking forward to it," said Lord Parker.

"There's more footfall and more opportunities in Crown Walk."
