Choice.
For over a hundred years the Market Hall has traded sucessfully with it's current opening hours.
If forced to open six days per week, at least five businesses I spoke to yesterday said that takings wouldn't cover their rent/staffing costs, so they will just pack up and leave.
Seems a little odd, that there'll be a refurbished Market Hall, with no market traders in.
As stated, if Cllr. Britcliffe's son, the cafe owner who is spearheading the move to force six day trading, wanted to open six/seven days per week, there are plenty of empty town centre retail properties where he could have done this, without forcing others to do like wise.
