PREPARATION work for the demolition of the former Halfords building in Botley Road, Oxford, has begun.

Demolition of the old building to construct a new Waitrose store should commence next week.

The building, used by Cancer Research UK from August 2013 to June this year, will come down by the end of the year with construction expected to start early in the new year.

Protective fences have been put up around the site and secure hoardings are due to go up tomorrow.
