High street giant Boots has announced it will be closing its Gorleston store later this year. 

The shop, located in the town's High Street, will close as part of the retailer's nationwide scheme to consolidate branches.

Earlier this year, it announced 300 stores across the country were under threat of closure.

A Boots spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that the Boots store in Gorleston is part of the previously announced store consolidation programme and will close in November.

"All team members from this store will be offered alternative roles.

"The nearest Boots store is less than two miles away and will continue to offer pharmacy services for customers."

Boots has branches at Gapton Hall Retail Park and at Market Gates in Great Yarmouth.

It is currently unknown if any other stores in Norfolk will be affected by the closures.
