A bike shop in Norwich city centre, which was due to close on Saturday, will now remain open.

Last month it was announced that Evans Cycles was closing its Westlegate store, with a 20pc off sale across its stock.

Staff at the store found out that a decision to close the store had been reversed on Monday, May 9.

Evans Cycles assistant manager Hamish Harvey confirmed the closure was now no longer taking place.

He said: "We're delighted to be staying open.

"It just goes to show how great this store is for Norwich."
