A new shop is opening soon in Halstead High Street.

Scott Rogers, 29, started his business Reloved Home in Halstead, before expanding to larger premises in Braintree.

He had previously owned jean-making company Oak Jeans, which was based in Freeport Braintree.

His business has since taken off and he is now waiting for the final sign-off from solicitors before he can open a new shop in the former Winners of Halstead store in Halstead high street.

The pet shop, at the bottom of the high street, closed in 2011 and the premises have been empty ever since.
