Matalan? Primark? Peacocks?

According to shoppers ‘in the know’, clothing retailer Peacocks is planning a move onto the retail park - however they are expected to take over another vacant unit, not Poundland.

Primark has also been mentioned, but the high street chain has yet to comment on these reports.

Others suggested Matalan would be a welcome addition, but they are also keeping tight-lipped about any new store openings.

Matalan, Primark and Peacocks were approached for comment.
