Poundworld’s Sutton High Street store is set to close later this month following the chain’s collapse into administration, making 10 people at the branch redundant.

More than 1,000 jobs are to be lost overall as the discount retailer shuts 80 of its stores – both in London and across the country.

Those involved will close over the weekend of July 20 – 22, leaving just 230 open.

The year of 2018 has been a huge struggle for high street stores, with House of Fraser, Maplin, Prezzo and Toys ‘R Us among those who have been affected in various ways.
