A Clifton pharmacy is set to permanently close.

The Boots on Whiteladies Road, near the junction with Apsley Road, will shut its doors on May 9.

Half of the shop is taped off and shelves in that section are empty, while the shelves in the other half of the store are still filled with stock.

Bristol Live understands the empty shelves are the result of a downsizing process ahead of closure.

Shoplifting is understood to have been a serious issue for the branch recently and is likely to be a factor in it shutting down.

Some of the jobs there are believed to be moving to the Boots pharmacy in Clifton Down Shopping Centre.

Customers will each be able to collect one more prescription from the Whiteladies Road shop before it closes.

Staff will inform them of their options for future prescription pickups at other pharmacies.

We have asked Boots how many jobs will be affected or left at risk by the closure.
