I HAVE been reading lots of letters regarding the Hardshaw Centre seats being removed to create open space for shoppers to move around.

Well, take away the handbag stall, the watch repairer, the ice cream man, the mobile phone case seller, and other various and stalls in this "open space" and put them in the empty shops. Hey presto, plenty room for a few seats for aged, disabled (with chair pushers) and weary shoppers to have a bit of a rest and a chat without having to buy something first.

I'm shopping in Warrington now, and they have plenty of seats.
