IWOULD like to say a big thank you to everyone, customers, market traders, suppliers etc. who have supported me during my six years on Penny Street.

However, I do feel I must apologise to everyone who is loyal to me for the sudden but unavoidable closure. The new owners have now re-opened and it's business as usual!

Contrary to popular belief, I'm taking what I'm sure you'll all agree is a well deserved rest and I hope, when our future plans are put into action, I can count on your support.

Thank you once again.

PETER BARNARD.
