CHRISTMAS has seen a mixed bag of trading in Burnham and Highbridge - with one store owner saying locals are going to other places like Cribbs Causeway in Bristol to shop instead.

Colin Morris says customers are deserting 'unfriendly' Burnham in favour of other towns, as well as the vast retail site near the M5 in north Bristol to do their shopping.

Mr Morris, who runs Hurley newsagents, Hurley Book, Toy and Sports Shop, The Bag Shop and Salway Ironmongers, said this Christmas had not been great for his businesses.
