Claire’s Accessories to close in Barking shopping centre

A popular jewellery and accessories retailer will have its last day of trading in the borough next week.

Claire’s Accessories in Vicarage Field shopping centre, Barking, closes next Wednesday.

A spokesman for the shopping centre said the lease on the store, which employs four members of staff, had expired.

He added that the store was currently under offer at the moment to another tenant who would be moving in “imminently”, but was unable to say what type of store it was at this stage.
