New chill-out zone for shoppers in Burnley market

CHILLING OUT Amy Leach and Rosemary Ebbs enjoy a break in the new rest area in Burnley Market
A NEW ‘fan-zone’ and shoppers’ relaxation area has been created in Burnley market where visitors can relax and watch sporting events on large televisions.
The town’s markets services department has created a new lounge-style rest area which features 16 leather chairs, tables and four large screens.
Organisers hope the area will encourage shoppers to stay longer in the town centre.
They hope the seating area will give shoppers the opportunity to take a break from shopping, put their feet up and watch television.
It is also intended to provide a comfortable area to meet up with friends and relatives while shopping.
Councillor Andy Tatchell, the council’s executive member for regeneration and economic development, said: “While your partner, friends, or parents are trying on their new outfits or having their nails and hair done, you can take a break, read a book or paper or just sit, relax and chill out in this stylish area.
“Burnley Market Hall is always looking at ways of improving its customer shopping experience, and the new rest area will add to the market’s appeal.
“Shopping at local markets is seeing a resurgence, with shoppers seeking local products, to support independent traders, in a friendly bustling environment.”
“The new TVs couldn’t have come at a better time, in place for the Euro 2012 and the Olympics, so don’t stay at home, why not keep up with all the games whilst out shopping.”

It is chilling to realise that people are so fond of television that they will gather in such numbers to... well, watch TV; and do so without disagreeing about the channel to be watched.

Them chairs are for sale on the jews market manchester cheap as chips.. At least they managed to fit a lovely BLUE sheet of linoleum infact with the white chairs and the white post it seems to have a real Rovers feel to it right in the centre of Burnley. Fcuking losers will try anything to be friends even turn their market into a Rovers relaxing room. Thanks but no thanks we hate you.

Wouldn't it have been better put to use as, oh I don't know, a market stall? Or perhaps I ought to make a football related comment.
