An empty shop unit in Bexhill has had its lights left switched on ‘for months’.

The lights were spotted on at the former Next store at Ravenside Retail Park.

The retailer shut its Bexhill branch on August 7.

A Bexhill resident said: “I have been past the Next branch at Ravenside Retail Park since it closed and It looks like every single light in the store has been left on 24/7 and there must be hundreds in there.

“One of the car park attendants said it’s been like that since it closed down and the store is completely empty. It must be costing them thousands a month in electricity bills.”
