A NEW DIY store in Belvedere will bring 250 jobs.

The B&Q store being built in Station Road, on the former site of Erith and Belvedere Football Club, is due to open in May.

Store general manager Ian Herrett is keen to recruit local people, especially over-50s with DIY skills and those who can act as "meeters and greeters".

Anyone interested can call the company's recruitment number 0870 6060349.
