JUST nine Marks and Spencer stores will remain in Dorset after the Dolphin Centre branch closes next year. 

Jobs could be at risk as staff were told on Tuesday morning that the store in the Dolphin Centre, which first opened in 1971, would close in January 2022.

M&S have confirmed their priority is to talk to their colleagues and where possible, offer them alternative roles with the company.
