I BELIEVE there is a crying need for more seats to be installed in supermarkets and shops.

My wife and I are nearly 90 and often feel we would like to sit down after shopping.

At Asda in the marina one morning there was just one seat by the checkouts.

At Tesco at the Holmbush Centre in Shoreham, there are about six, while you need a magnifying glass to find any in Marks & Spencer.

I hope my comments will do something to goad those in authority to take action on this matter.

In my humble opinion it is an urgent social need for all those who have reached the eventide of their lives.
