TRADERS at Radcliffe's market hall have expressed their thanks to demolition squads who have been razing the nearby Kwik Save store to the ground.

Work on the town centre building is nearing completion and stallholders at the market say disruption to their trade has been kept to a minimum.

A spokesman for the market management said: "No mess has been caused, noise has been kept to a minimum, and most importantly there has been no obstruction to the parking facilities for the Market Hall."
