A LANDMARK Somerset motor dealership has closed.

Blackmore Motor Company, which was based in Main Street, Walton, near Street, closed before Christmas.

Latterly a Subaru dealership and service centre, the family-owned business operated in Somerset for more than 50 years, including running Rowcliffes dealerships, including in East Reach, Taunton.

However, it is understood all remaining staff at the Walton centre were made redundant before Christmas.

The move came after Blackdown Motor Company previously closed down sites in Yeovil in July 2024, as well as its Rowcliffes dealership in Taunton, which shut in June 2023.

We have more to come on this story in the coming days.
