Many Lib Dem Councillors were present at the opening, and took the opportunity for to get some shopping! Councillor Tim Prater commented:

"The new stores really improve the selection available in the town - I think I've already tracked down a few Christmas and birthday presents already! ASDA is pretty huge, and the store seemed to be running pretty smoothly while we were shopping there this morning - pretty impressive on the first day!

"What was also good to see on the opening day was that there seemed to be more people than usual in the main precinct as well, and not just in the new centre."
