Ilkeston shoppers say the town is ‘average’ and has ‘nothing’ after Peacocks was put up for sale. The store is closed and up for sale and now locals are having to travel to Long Eaton, Eastwood, Heanor, Nottingham and Beeston.
The high street now consists of shops such as New Look and Select. Shoppers said there used to be a lot of stores on the high street like Dorothy Perkins and Wallis but now there is ‘nothing.’
We spoke to local residents on the high street to see what they would like to see in replace of Peacocks. Janice Hooley, who is 59, told Nottinghamshire Live that what would be good for the high street is a clothing store like Primark.
