Poundland in Harrow will reopen on Monday

Poundland in St Anns Road, Harrow has been announced as one of 36 stores that will reopen on Monday (18 May).

Poundland retail director Austin Cooke said: “We’ve never been prouder of our role as a retailer at the heart of communities and high streets.

“While safety has to come first, we’re delighted to be able to begin reopening hibernating Poundland stores to fully serve those communities across the UK with the essentials they need.”

Health and safety measures will be put in place and limits will be placed on how many customers will be allowed into the store at any one time it has been announced.

Other health and safety measures include –

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