Milton Keynes Poundland to open from next week

Poundland in Silbury Arcade is set to open from next Monday (May 18).

Although most Poundlands have remained opened, the decision had been made to temporarily shut the city store during the lockdown.

But, in a statement from the company, the Milton Keynes store will reopen along with about 30 others.

Robust health and safety measures will operate. Customers can expect to see:

*Marshals at the door to limit the number of customers in store at any one time

*Floor markers to help customers maintain social distancing

*Perspex screens at manned checkouts to protect colleagues and customers

*The closure of every other self-checkout to make appropriate social distancing easier

*Rigorous hygiene routines that include colleagues washing their hands every 20 minutes and key surfaces being wiped down every hour
