'However Coun Britcliffe said “If you go into Asda on a Sunday morning it’s jam packed'
Call to end Accrington's Wednesday half-day trading (From Lancashire Telegraph)
Well we know where at least one person does his shopping.
As Lancsdave pointed out, the only town centre retail businesses that are closed on Wednesady are in the council run Market Hall, all the other shops are open.
Just as those shops who think it's worthwhile for them, already open up on Sunday. Which is apparent to people that actually shop in the town centre, instead of spending their time going off their trolley in the souless alleys of supermarket chains.
So all this half-day guff is yet more hot air and empty rhatoric, from someone who it appears doesn't know the facts regarding shopping in Accrington's town centre.
Accrington's shops do already open all day Wednesdays, and Sundays, if they think it viable, and profitable.
The economic market decides when, and how long, traders open, not some politican, sat in his ivory tower, surrounded by his shopping, in ASDA carrier bags.
