It was such a shame fishmonger Jim Partidge lost £700 because of the road closure outside his shop while the memorial PC Jeff Tooley was unveiled.

Perhaps a Jim Partridge fund could be set up, if only to buy him a freezer to put his unsold fish in.

It would have to be a substantial freezer, however, as he stands to lose a fair number of customers because of the sorry incident.
