BUDGET store Poundland has revealed plans to open in Clacton.

Details remain sketchy, but the retailer says the new store should be up and running in the next few months and create "numerous" jobs.

It is unclear where the store will be located.

Retail director Martin Dawson said: “Poundland has grown significantly over the past 12 months and it’s fantastic to see this expansion continuing with a new store in Clacton-on-Sea. We’re looking forward to opening our doors.”

Poundland currently has more than 600 stores nationwide.
