Signs went up in its windows today (December 10) stating that it is set to close on December 16, at 4pm, with customers being redirected to its branch at the Pierpoint Retail Park on the Hardwick industrial estate.

The signs were later taken down. It is not known whether the staff will be being relocated to the Pierpoint store as well.

Next is the latest to shut up shop in the town centre following the closure of Blue Inc and Devine Beds Direct only last month.

Peacocks in the Vancouver Quarter is currently holding a closing down sale 'subject to landlord negotiations'.
