Sunday trading restrictions should be lifted
The Sunday Trading Act 1994 allows shops to open, but restricting opening times of larger stores i.e. those over 280 m2 (3,014 sq ft) to a maximum of six hours, between 10am and 6pm only.
This is really annoying; there are two days in a weekend, it's Sunday Evening and I can't buy anything from the local supermarket or any other large shop but can buy anything I like on-line. Why can't I shop, in a shop, on a Sunday??
Twenty-first century, time for a change. Lift the restrictions and let retailers and customers decide how they would like to spend their time.
