RUMOURS are circulating Cinderford that a new retailer could be moving into the former Westgate store.

Fashion retail chain, Peacocks, which has a store in Ross, is alleged to be taking up residence in the store that Real Deal shut in May.

However landlords Midcounties Co-operative are remaining tight-lipped.

A spokesperson said they couldn’t confirm what the activity was last Wednesday when workmen were spotted measuring up the windows.

A Cinderford resident, who didn’t wish to be named, said: “It is all very exciting.”
