Shoppers arriving at the Nisa Extra at Brackendale Shopping Center on Stroud Avenue, Willenhall, since Monday morning have been left disappointed after the shutters remained locked.

Nearby residents reported seeing fridges being removed from the site operated by Sundorne Products (Willenhall) Ltd and placed in vehicles in the early hours of the morning.

“All inquiries should be directed in the first instance to the above office of JP Dawkins Limited quoting the above reference.”
