Bargain-hunters went sales shopping crazy yesterday – giving a huge boost to under-pressure traders.

Tills were jingling across the county as a pre- Christmas rush turned into a sales dash.

But there are warnings 2012 will bring fresh challenges and new help will be required to keep small businesses thriving.

See a special report in The Argus today.

Presumably this story gets recycled every year to save money on bill board posters outside the newsagents?
