More infoLocal councillors have voiced their disappointment at the confirmed closure of the Poundland store at Ortongate Shopping Centre in Peterborough. Poundland took over from Wilko in unit 19 at Ortongate Shopping Centre in 2023. The Ortongate store will close on August 24, leaving just Poundland stores in Peterborough at the Hereward Cross Shopping Centre, the Bretton Centre, and the Brotherhood Retail Park. Speaking about the Ortongate Shopping Centre as a whole, Cllr Knight felt the "wrong shops" were going in. Ortongate Shopping Centre was approached for comment.
