The spokesperson added: "Customers in the area will still be able to be able to access our full range of products via our website. We would like to thank all of our customers in the local community for shopping with us”.

The Core is currently home to seven retailers and seven food outlets as well as a gym and yoga studio. It underwent a major renovation in the late 2000s, having previously been known as The Headrow Shopping Centre.

Your YEP reported last year on plans to demolish the shopping centre with plans drawn up for a new development featuring a mix of shops and student accommodation.
