I KNOW that, to many Boltonians, the opening of a pound chippy on Newport Street is just another sign of the town centre’s descent to depravity and decay which makes the Fall of the Roman Empire look respectable but, sorry, I have to disagree.
We may not necessarily prefer pound shops, bakeries and even a pound pub but if that’s what people want and need these days, then so be it.
It is business enterprise just like any other, with a financial risk undertaken by its owners who will need to work hard to make it a success.
Good luck.
