WE hope that the festive plan next week by the ASDA store at Middlebrook for 24-hour shopping starts a trend. Work patterns these days have changed dramatically, with shifts and flexibility the watchwords.
It is entirely practical that shopping hours should reflect our changing lifestyles, and be convenient to customers. Bolton's retail facilities need every advantage they can offer to fight the competition; this sounds like a major plus.
