What's new?
Opening hours consultation results
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the opening hours consultation between 24 September and 31 October. We asked whether you would prefer to keep the current hours or move to the proposed new opening hours. The results were:
- Move to new hours - 85%
- Keep current hours - 15%
We are proposing to implement the changes in early 2019.
