Morrisons customers 10 per cent off discounts this summer
Every Monday, the 10% discount will be available on all of the Market Street counters when customers swipe their More Card at the checkout.
Customers will be able to see how much they have saved with their discount on Morrisons Butchers, Fishmongers, Pie Shop, Bakery, Oven Fresh, Deli, Pizza, Cake Shop and Salad Bar by looking at the bottom of their receipt.
On Mondays, More Card holders will also be able to receive the 10% discount in the Café and Café Brews.
Fraser Lovatt, Managing Director of Market Street at Morrisons, says: 'We know our customers value the range, quality and service they get from our Market Street counters. So, as a thank you to our loyal More Card customers, we're thrilled to be offering them a 10% discount on our Market Street counters and in the Café every Monday.'
This follows news that Morrisons has 'bounced back' from a cyber attack which disrupted its Christmas trading, with stronger sales and profits for the latest quarter.
But the UK's fifth-largest supermarket chain warned that rising inflation is driving 'subdued' sentiment among shoppers.
Last week, the Bradford-based grocery business revealed that group sales grew by 4.2% to £3.9 billion for the 13 weeks to April 27, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

It comes as the company pushes on with its major turnaround plan, which has seen it overhaul a raft of store operations.
In March, Morrisons announced that 365 staff were at risk of redundancy because of plans to close some of its cafes, convenience stores, florists and fresh food counters.
As a result, it said it would shut 52 cafes, all 18 market kitchens, 17 Morrisons Daily convenience stores, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies.

City centre loses TWO historic markets in one day but shoppers only have to wait two weeks for swanky replacement
A CITY centre has lost two historic markets in one day but shoppers only have to wait two weeks for a swanky replacement. This weekend marked the final day of trading for stallholders at the Kirkgate and Oastler markets in Bradford. 3 3 Both markets shut on Saturday, June 28 and some traders have been offered stands at the new Darley Street Market. The historic Kirkgate Market opened in the 19th century and Oastler Market in the 1930s. Both have been important destinations over the years before online shopping saw a downturn in footfall. The old sites will eventually be demolished to make way for 1,000 new homes as part of a regeneration scheme. But after seven years Darley Market will open next month on July 12 and 13 after the scheme was first approved in 2018 by Bradford Council. The new market will feature spaces for eating, drinking, live entertainment in addition to traditional stalls. Some traders, such as the fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers and the iconic Roswitha's deli will be moving to the more modern market. People could be seen visiting Kirkgate and Oastler for the final time as they took photos around the long-standing sites. It's a historic juncture in Bradford city centre's constantly evolving story. Traders could be seen speaking with customers about what the next chapter might hold and enquiring whether they would be moving to the new market. Kamran Ali, 35, has repaired watches at Finesse Jewellers for 12 years. Based in Kirkgate Market, the jewellers has traded there for more than three decades but will now move to Darley Street. Ali told the BBC: "Bradford needs something to bring people back, the new market is, hopefully, going to help. "At the same time I'm sad, because some people here are not going to go to the new market." Kasiano Wonzer, a tailor, was not successful in applying for a new stall at the new Darley Street Market. He told the Telegraph & Argus: "This is my professional job and my life depends on this. "Since it is going to close down I am so sad, I started tailoring since I was small. "For now I've packed my things and I'll go back to my house." One couple who have run a stall at Kirkgate Market for more than 50 years, said: "It was one of the best markets in the UK." "When they opened it was a beautiful market - lovely people came, they felt so happy.' They're now packing up, giving their wares to charity and retiring. But other traders are looking into new plans after not being offered a stalls at the swanky replacement market. One trader said he was "feeling sad" and looking at the possibility of another shop but "the rent is high". He said: "Before it was busy, very nice. "The last two years, after Primark's gone, it's dead.' Fruit World opened is Oastler Market in 1994 and is also moving to Darley Market. Their team said: "It was a very good market, bustling, very busy because a lot of people used to go into the Morrisons. "Slowly over time it's kind of died down." But they said they were "very excited" to make the move and said while the new market is different, it's "beautiful" and "new over there". Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw, Bradford Council's executive member for regeneration, planning and transport, said: "Darley Street Market has always been significantly more than a simple like for like replacement of the markets it's replacing. "It helps modernise our retail offer, but it also reshapes the city centre with a new market square." 3

EXCLUSIVE Man at war with council after building a two-storey HOUSE on his driveway without permission
A businessman who built a towering second home in his garden has been ordered to tear it down - after it emerged he had only secured planning permission to build a modest garage. Raziq Ali was given the green light to replace a modest garage to the side of his £350,000 detached home near Bradford, West Yorkshire. Instead, the 41-year-old constructed what planning officials have described as a full-blown 'detached dwelling' with three floors and enough space for independent living. Bradford Council issued an enforcement notice in March, demanding Ali demolish the 85 sq/m structure within three months, after ruling that the illegal development completely 'dominates' the area. Yet when MailOnline visited the property, in a secluded avenue in the village of Thornton, building work was still taking place inside the annexe, which neighbours said had been kitted out with high-end furniture. A glazed corridor had also been constructed to link the two buildings together. Mr Ali, the director of a franchise of a chai tea shops, is said not to have lived at the property since purchasing it for £299,000 in 2021. Speaking over the phone, he claimed to have been led astray by builders who told him not to worry about planning permission. He said: 'We're going to appeal. It was my builder who was doing the application for me. It was my first time building something. 'He said 'no problem', 'I'll put the planning in for you, there will be no problem'. 'It was my first time doing anything so I left it to the builders. He said he would get all the paperwork in and would do everything. 'It was the builders who pulled me in that direction and said "don't worry about it". In 2022, Mr Ali was granted permission to demolish the existing garage adjacent to his three-bed home, after purchasing it the previous year for £299,000. In its place, council officials signed off on plans to build a larger 'garage/store' with a room in the loft, with the caveat that 'it is suitably designed and not detrimental to the amenity of existing nearby residents'. The council ruled that what has been built in its place is vastly larger and taller and goes far beyond the permissions Mr Ali was granted. A report refusing retrospective planning consent ruled: 'Having received planning permission for a replacement garage, the applicant has instead construct what is, in effect, a detached dwelling in the front of the house with not planning permission and persistently tried to retain the unauthorised building'. Mr Ali unsuccessfully applied three times for retrospective planning in a bid to make the costly development legal. In an application in 2023, he claimed the building was justified as his father had become disabled and that the structure would allow his parent to live in close proximity and 'receive the care he needs'. A later planning bid suggested the building would be used by care providers to stay over and provide assistance was also refused by planners who ruled that the 'size, design and appearance of the built annex is not appropriate or acceptable'. The council said that the garage conversion it had initially approved would have provided 'adequate additional space'. In May last year, the council issued an enforcement notice demanding the 'unauthorised three-storey building' be removed in three months. An appeal of that decision was dismissed in March by the Planning Inspectorate. Laura Renauden, an inspector appointed by the secretary of state, concluded in her report: 'Permission was obtained for a replacement garage building on the site, but the building constructed is somewhat larger than that permitted, and is said to have self-contained facilities. 'The council's design concerns are that it does not respond appropriately to its context, and that it does not achieve a relationship of subservience to the principal dwelling on the site. 'The three-storey element is a substantial addition, sited towards the front of the plot and rather overwhelming its surroundings.' Ms Renauden said she had been provided with 70 pages of medical records of an 'elderly relative' but said the documents lacked 'clarity'. She added: 'What exactly the medical issues are, the likely longevity of these, and any resulting need for or benefits from a residential annexe that might justify the permanent provision of the three-storey appeal structure are not explained. 'It is possible in some cases for the personal circumstances of an appellant to overcome a conflict with the development plan for the area, but those circumstances, and the consequential need for the particular development in issue, would require a clear explanation and justification. 'Those have not been supplied here.' In Sowden Grange, a small cluster of detached homes, neighbours claimed Mr Ali did not live at the property and that builders continued to work inside the illegally-built house. One suggested Mr Ali had spent more than £200,000 to build the structure, and now faces a costly demolition bill to raze to the ground. Another couple, who asked not to be named, said: 'To be honest, at this point, we just want the matter resolved. 'We'd prefer to have actual neighbours living there. We're more bothered by the constant building work. 'The work's been going on for over two years now. Every time they do anything, our garden ends up covered in dust and debris. 'If they demolish it, we'll go through the same disruption all over again.' When approached by MailOnline, Mr Ali said he had instructed solicitors to contest the council's enforcement action but declined to comment further. Breaching an enforcement notice can lead to proceedings in the criminal courts.
