Convenience store McColl's has gone into administration.

Nationally, it puts 16,000 jobs at risk.

Locally, there are three Bedford stores – Greenhill Street, Springfield Centre, in Kempston; and Shortstown – as well as one in Ampthill.

It was hoped Morrisons would step in and make a last-minute bid.
