MAJOR high street chain H&M last week announced it is cutting the opening hours of its store on Hereford’s Old Market development – which is approaching its first anniversary.

We asked readers taking part in this week’s online poll, at herefordtimes.com, whether they thought the Old Market had been a good thing for the county so far.

A total of 1,307 people took part and a majority of 64 per cent of voters said they thought the development had been a good addition to the county.

However, 26 per cent of people disagreed and said it had not.

A further five per cent said they did not know and the remaining five per cent said they did not care.
