Re: shops closing / opening

I'm not surprised about the Late Shop - it wasn't easy to park nearby, so the Tesco was bound to take away custom.

Pity the Tesco had to be sited there though - it's a permanent problem on Bolton Road, both for traffic on the main road, and the melee on the forecourt.

Hi Julian
The For Sale sign has been up for over twelve months. Steve and Cath Broadbelt who have run the shop since it reopened after the floods moved out three weeks ago and the shop is being extended and is then due to reopen.

Re: shops closing / opening

Hi
With the closure of the COOP Late Shop, I am told that Tesco will have what they aimed for when they targeted the COOP: The Lottery, this can only add to the congestion around this site, if it happens.
