I WOULD like to add my comments in answer to Mr R Liptrott of Tonge Fold who expressed my sentiments entirely.

I work as a shop assistant in the Market Hall and can verify the waste of time late night shopping is. People want to be at home with their families at tea-time, doing whatever they do together, and I have yet to speak to another shop assistant who agrees with the new proposed hours.

Mrs D Taylor,

Newhaven Walk, Tonge Moor, Bolton.
