In Newquay, many residents count on Poundland for their everyday needs. The reality for most of us is that we don’t have the luxury of a car to travel to nearby towns. Our options are limited when it comes to affordable shopping. The nearest alternatives in St Austell or Truro are inconveniently far away, and public transport means hours of commute for essentials that should be easily accessible.

Poundland has been a steadfast part of our community here in Newquay, providing affordable essentials to all of us, from household items to groceries. The closure of our local store would force many into difficult positions, needing to stretch already tight budgets even further.

The trend of closing stores in smaller towns not only affects the convenience of shopping but also impacts jobs and the community spirit that local businesses foster. Poundland's presence in Newquay is vital, offering both employment and an accessible shopping option for those who need it most.

To maintain the vibrancy and accessibility of our community, it is crucial that Newquay’s Poundland remains open. We need to stand together and let the decision-makers at Poundland know how essential this store is to our everyday lives.
