I would assume so as St Helens as of yet has no plans for electric charging points to be installed

Sad to confirm that the body shop at St Helens will close permanently from 31st Dec. So no more re-paints or accident damage repairs will be carried out. All the space will be used now as extra engineering pits in readiness for the arrival of franchising in September. A big thank you to all bodyshop staff for your work over the years.

Without sounding controversial, even though the companies that bid know the result before it goes public, do you think that is down to the winning bidder for the St Helens?

That's a crying shame it's closing.

I wonder what the last vehicles in the body shop will be?
