Three retailers to create 75 new jobs in Derry

Three businesses have announced plans to create 75 new jobs at a retail park on the outskirts of Derry.

Next Home, Mothercare and the bed retailer Dreams are all planning to open outlets at the Crescent Link facility over the next three months.

The move comes as thousands of shoppers from the Republic continue to travel north of the border to avail of cheaper prices.

Market researchers say 250,000 people from the Republic are regularly doing their grocery shopping in the North, up 25% since the end of last year.
