The oldest town centre supermarket in Clacton is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a month-long revamp.

Tesco's in Station Road will close from Easter Sunday to become a modernised Tesco Metro store.

Tesco spokesman Katherine Edwards said: "It will bring the store up-to-date to make it an all round better shopping experience."

The new store will include:

Two new check-outs bringing the total to eight

Automatic doors at the Station Road and Colne Road entrances

A bakery to provide goods freshly baked on site

The revamped store is due to open on April 29.
