Jersey Liberation Day trading outcry
RULES governing Sunday trading have been dubbed a ‘postcode lottery’ ahead of the Liberation Day weekend, when many stores will be forced to close all weekend while competitors can open their doors.
As Liberation Day falls on a Saturday this year, the vast majority of premises will have to shut. And there is anger that in this difficult climate traders will lose a key day.
However, to ease potential losses some Constables are giving stores permission to trade on the Sunday, while others are sticking to the letter of the law and maintaining the ban on opening.
In the centre of town, St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft is allowing all shops to be open on Sunday 10 May from 11 am until 5 pm as part of the Fête de la Libération.
But town centre manager Richard Mackenzie said that the Sunday trading permission would not extend to the Co-Op Grand Marché or Safeway, despite both being in St Helier. (from thisisjersey)
Seems a little unfair to me...
