Morrisons supermarket in Nelson bids to extend opening hours

PLANS have been submitted to Pendle Council to vary the condition regulating the opening hours of Morrisons supermarket in Nelson.

At the moment, the Pendle Street store is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays.

The application is to extend the opening hours on the days the store closes earlier by an hour to 9 p.m.

A spokesman for Morrisons said: “The reason for this is that many of our customers are working uneven hours and looking to buy their groceries later in the evening.”
