Poundworld store with ‘out of control’ mice infestation fined £1.2m
Normanton-headquartered discount retailer Poundworld has been fined £1.2m after an "out-of-control" rodent infestation was discovered in one of its stores.
On visiting the shop in Croydon, South London, council officers found it to be dirty and littered with mouse droppings, food on display was gnawed and rodent urine and faeces were found over packaging and products.
Some products’ gnawed packaging had been “repaired” with adhesive tape and returned to the shop shelves for sale, officers said.
