A supermarket in Chingford that was forced to temporarily close due to a "pest issue" has reopened following improvements. 

Morrisons in Chingford Road reopened to customers on November 13 after being issued with an emergency prohibition notice by Waltham Forest Council. 

The notice came in response to reports of a pest issue inside the store, prompting the council to act on food hygiene regulations. 

A spokesperson for Morrisons previously advised that the branch was visited by the local council before it was closed on November 6.
