BLACKBURN Council should now be supporting the owner of Puccino's deli bar for having the guts to risk his savings and redundancy payout on a new business venture.

The new deli bar in King William Street is perfectly placed to serve the solicitors, bankers and business people in the area -- those who can afford to pay that little bit extra for a coffee and a fancy cake.

There is also an interchange of customers from the BHS and Marks and Spencer stores and the local cinema.
