There's change coming to Swindon's Orbital Shopping Centre with the departure of one store and the arrival of a replacement.

Sports Direct confirmed it was closing in December and will shut its doors later this month.

The sports retailer will be replaced by cosmetic firm Superdrug who have made a planning application to change the building's signage ahead of their arrival.

It is not yet known when Superdrug will be opening its doors at the north Swindon retail destination but locals shouldn't be kept waiting for too long.

But how do the people of Swindon feel about this move? Are they sad to see Sports Direct go or are they happy that Superdrug is coming?
