A discount retailer has been forced to suddenly close its store in the centre of Ipswich.

Poundland in the Sailmakers shopping centre is currently closed due to reports of a 'sewage leak'.

In the window of the shop a sign reads: "We are closed!! Dear valued customers, we are closed for unforeseen circumstances, we deeply apologise for any inconvenience caused and hop to get this sorted soon."

It is not known when the store will reopen.

Poundland has been approached for comment.

Last year the budget brand was saved from administration, days before it ran out of cash, with its restructuring plan approved by the high court.

Last year, the Poundland at Copdock Mill closed, only 19 months after if opened in the former Mothercare unit.
