The discount store has confirmed that the Bingley branch, located at 5 Rise shopping centre will close on June 15 as the lease has expired on the unit.

 

A spokesperson for Poundland said: “We're disappointed for colleagues and customers who’ll still be able to shop with us in our other stores in Keighley and Bradford.

It was revealed in February that the Rise shopping Centre was sold for an undisclosed sum to investment company LCP.
