FURTHER to the article in the Star concerning the removal of benches in the Hardshaw Centre, I totally agree with the pensioners who voiced their protests.

Surely the shopkeepers agree, as it will affect them too. You can go to Widnes, Huyton, Wigan and Warrington and see a totally different situation.

You can have free parking but no benches. Have the Tories took over?

Very disgruntled customer.
