A charity shop is looking like a "densely packed jungle" and needs to get rid of some stock.

The Fairhavens charity shop, in Alexandra Street, Southend, is getting so overloaded it is starting a special sale today.

Public relations manager Jennie Hubbard said: "There are masses of excellent bargains to be sold, with up to half price off on some.

"There are wall to wall rails full of cut price stock. Previous donations have included top designer names, a vast array of branded clothes which have never been worn, even wedding dresses and mother of the bride outfits complete with handbag and shoes."
