H&M has announced the closure of three more UK stores.

The major high street fashion brand says a “rapid change in customer behaviour” is to blame for its decision to shut the doors of some branches.

Shops in Hartlepool, Maidenhead and on the Isle of Wight have also been earmarked for closure.

It follows the revelation in November that the fashion chain had closed one in five stores in the UK. At the time, the move left H&M with 192 stores across the UK after closing 56 locations.
