A Tesco Express store in the city centre remains closed today due to "network issues".

The shop in Westlegate closed its doors to customers at about 1pm on Wednesday, September 28, a time when it is usually busy with hungry customers looking for a lunchtime snack.

It remained closed as of 11am today (September 29).

On Wednesday people were attempting to open the doors to venture inside but were left disappointed.

A sign was eventually erected at the entrance, blaming the closure on a "network issue on the tills".

Those seeking a sandwich were instead able to visit stores including the nearby Sainsbury's store or Marks and Spencer.

As of 6pm on Thursday, the store remains closed and it is not known when the shop will reopen.
