Longstanding Guildbourne Centre shop 'repossessed by landlord'

A notice of repossession dated April 30 was put in the window of The Lighthouse in the Guildbourne Centre.

Signed by Jonathan Chatfield from the Burlington Group - an agent working on behalf of the landlord, Factory Outlets Limited - it said that the 'landlord has this day re-entered these premises' and 'is entitled to repossess', exercising their rights under the law and clause 16 of the lease, which is dated October 27, 1999.

Any attempt to enter the premises without the landlord's consent could face civil or criminal action against them, the notice said.
