Next is remaining tight-lipped on the closure of its store at Chesterfield’s Ravenside Retail Park.

The retail giant was forced to temporarily close the store off Markham Road as Storm Eunice hit on Friday, February 18.

A spokesperson for the firm later noted the closure was “weather related” but refused to give further details when asked.

Shoppers have since reported that they were evacuated as the glass-panelled store front was believed to be dangerous due to the high winds – however this has not been confirmed.
