The Poundland store in the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Basildon is understood to be remaining open.

A spokeman from Poundland, said: "We're sad to be closing our store at Town Square, Basildon, on 29 May because the lease has expired, but we'll still be offering customers amazing value at the nearby Eastgate Centre and at Old Market Retail Park in Pitsea.

"Where we close a store, it goes without saying we always work hard to look after colleagues directly affected."
