Up to 15 jobs will be created when a fashion retailer opens in an Eastbourne shopping centre.

Peacocks is moving into a 5,000sqft unit in Langney Shopping Centre next Thursday.

The Warrington-based retailer employs about 5,000 people in more than 325 stores across the UK.

The jobs are being split evenly between part and full-time, with predictions of further jobs if the venture proves a success.

To celebrate the opening, Cedric the Dragon, who is the mascot of the NCH children's charity, will visit the store along with Eastbourne's pantomime dame Ian Good.
