A man with autism from Arnold is welcoming a move by the supermarket chain Morrisons to introduce a quiet hour for shoppers with autism who struggle with music and noise.
Every Saturday morning from 9 o'clock, the lights in the retailer's Gamston store are dimmed, the music is silenced and check-out beeps are turned down.
Kevin Harrison says a regular shopping trip can often be stressful because of the various noise in store.
