Superdrug is temporarily closing a number of its º£½ÇÊÓÆµ stores.

The health and beauty retailer had kept all its shops open during the current lockdowns with the stores classed as "essential".

But this week a number of stores announced they would close after Saturday for a temporary period - including three in North Wales in Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno.

A spokeswoman for Superdrug said: "Superdrug will be placing a small proportion of stores into temporary hibernation, focusing on keeping stores open that are critical to supporting communities.

"Pharmacy stores and nurse clinics will remain open so customers can still access prescriptions.

"The safety and wellbeing of our colleagues and customers is our primary concern and where we remain open we continue to provide the additional safety measures we have had in place since March to ensure our stores are covid-secure and we can continue to meet the essential product and healthcare needs of communities across the country.

"Whilst stores remain open, we would encourage customers to shop online at   where possible to reduce the need for a physical visit to store.
