A town’s last standalone clothing store will close next week.
New Look in High Street, Littlehampton, has announced that it will shut its doors for the final time on August 6.
New Look shut four of its high street outlets in January this year and another three the following month.
In March, the company warned of possible redundancies with fashion retail news outlet Drapers saying it had outlined plans to cut 70 of its staff as pushed ahead with efforts to reorganise its business.

A New Look spokeswoman said: “Our store in Littlehampton is closing on August 6. We would like to thank all of our colleagues and the local community for their support over the last few years.
“We hope shoppers continue to shop with us at the nearby Bognor Regis store.”
