MADAM, Through you letters page could I thank both management and staff for the welcome and hospitality extended to the Mayoress and myself when I was invited to open the new shop in the Maltings on Saturday. It was so pleasing to see yet another shop opening in our town. I am sure the Original Factory Shop will help to bring a new lease of life to the centre and wish them the best of luck for a new business employing local people.

Mayor, Cllr Colin Gray
