Good morning Beckworth. I’m sorry to trouble you but i’m getting myself worked up into rather a lather over the stupidity of town planning. I’m not against progress, far from it, I campaigned tirelessly for the town to have pop-up urinals, now sited near the market, and to install hanging-baskets outside Bradford’s the Butchers.
But is anyone else as appalled as me about the local Sainsco supermarket applying to stay open 23 hours a day seven days a week?Outrageously they intend to only close between 2am and 3am.It’s a ridiculous idea, that surely won’t hold water with the town elders? I, for one, will be writing to the councillors to condone the plans in very strong language.
I mean why 2 to 3am? That’s just stupid. Those are the hours when mother and I like to do our weekly shop, when it is quiet… So hands off our traditional British late night/early morning excursions, Sainsco.

Yours, S. Bendish
