I miss having a local DIY store in West Drayton, I think it would be great if the Focus at Cowley Retail Park would become a Homebase or B&Q.

Does anyone know if there are any plans for it?

I heard that the Range have been buying a lot of the old Focus Stores up.

I miss a local DIY store too - even though Focus wasn't really up to much.

My mum told me that the Focus near her in Pembroke had been converted to M & S - I can't see that happening here though.

I'm often driving past that way - the minute I see anything happening I'll post it on here .....

I agree can't see an m&s going there, it's a fairly big store and I'd be happy with anything but the empty shop.

Me too.

The B&Q warehouse is better for some things but everything in there is completely covered in black dust. Everything has to be cleaned when you get it home. If I can I never take from the top of a pile.
Homebase, when it was next to Sainsbury's has quite a good range of stuff.

Focus has had its first lot of graffiti now - it'll probably be covered in it soon :D
