Since the opening of the new shopping centre in the Mall, Blackburn, we read in the LT that it is very busy.

Maybe so. But I am of the opinion that it is only a honeymoon period and that there will be many shoppers who have come from out of town to have a look.

But will the same shoppers come back to Blackburn when they find expensive parking and the horrendous road system in and out of the centre?

It’s early days yet and too soon to be enthusing over the new development.

As the saying goes, one swallow does not make a summer. Only time will tell.

H Hamer, Blackburn.
