Local stores may adjust their opening hours, so it would be wise to ask for more details in store.

However, the opening times vary across the shops.
Anyone planning to visit their bank or building society over the bank holiday weekend should double-check opening times.
All banks should be closed on Monday, May 5 and will resume operating as usual the next day.
According to the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, any financial dealings must be suspended during bank holidays.
However, Saturday is not a bank holiday, which means certain banks might still be open.
Ikea normally opens on bank holiday but does operate under reduced hours.
To celebrate their new store opening and May bank holiday, the Swedish retailer is selling their iconic meatballs for just £1.
Royal Mail says that it delivers on most days of the year, including Saturdays but that there are no deliveries or collections on Bank Holidays.
That means services will be paused this coming Monday.

We've explained exactly who is eligible BANK ON IT How to get up to £70 compensation from Mastercard – even if you've never paid with one Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MILLIONS of Brits could be in line for compensation from Mastercard, even if they've never paid with or owned one. A £200million settlement means you might be owed money for purchases made years ago. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Here's how to check if you're eligible and claim your share Credit: AP:Associated Press Around 47million customers could receive compensation of up to £70 each following a landmark legal victory in May. Walter Merricks, a former financial ombudsman, first launched the legal claim back in 2016. He alleged that 46million shoppers in Britain were ripped off after fees were wrongly levied on transactions made over a 15-year period between 1992 and 2008. Here's how to check if you're eligible and claim your share. Why is Mastercard paying out? The payout stems from a group legal claim, initiated by former financial ombudsman Walter Merricks back in 2016. Merricks argued that between 1992 and 2008, Mastercard's high transaction fees unfairly burdened shoppers. Retailers charged fees by Mastercard to process card payments, and allegedly passed those costs onto consumers through inflated prices. While Mastercard provides the technology for card payments, this case argued that their fees led to overcharging of consumers. The settlement, approved in May, is a significant victory for consumer rights, but it falls short of the initial £10-17billion Merricks originally sought. Americans to receive one-time payment from $5.6 billion Visa Mastercard settlement – and the deadline has been extended How much could you get? The amount of compensation depends you get will depend on how many people file a claim. Of the £200million settlement, £100million is earmarked for consumer payouts. Experts from predict that if only a small percentage (around 5%) of eligible individuals claim, payouts could reach up to £70. However, if more people apply, the payout will likely be around £45. The remaining £100million will cover legal costs and other expenses. Am I eligible? You do not need to have ever used a Mastercard to qualify for compensation. The claim argues that all shoppers were affected by the inflated prices, regardless of their payment method. To qualify for compensation, you must meet all of the following criteria: You lived in the UK (England, Wales or Northern Ireland) for at least three consecutive months between June 20, 1997, and June 21, 2008. For those who lived in Scotland, the period extends from May 22, 1992, to June 21, 2008. You were aged 16 or over during the relevant period. You purchased goods or services in the UK during this time for non-business purposes. You won't need to provide proof of purchase. You were still living in the UK on September 6, 2016 (when the claim was filed). How do I make a claim and when will I be paid? An online claims portal is expected to launch in the coming weeks on the Mastercard Consumer Claim website, managed by legal services firm Epiq. Those who think they've been affected will have several months to submit their claims online. The process will be straightforward, requiring you to confirm your eligibility and provide basic information like your date of birth, address, and bank details for payment. No supporting documentation will be required. If deemed eligible, Mastercard is expected to issue payments within 28 days, with individuals having until the end of 2025 to submit their claims.

Credit card customers can save up to £1,679 with a simple debt ‘spring clean'
If you're one of the millions of Brits who have a credit card, you could be pouring hundreds – if not thousands – of pounds, down the drain. But a quick balance transfer could help you clear your debt faster and save money in the process. New research from TotallyMoney revealed that half (48.8%) of credit card customers are currently paying interest on their balances every month. And by making use of a balance transfer deal, the finance company claims they could save up to a whopping £1,679 each. A balance transfer means moving some or all of your credit card debt from one to a new provider offering 0% interest for a set time, currently up to 33 months. While there's usually a small transfer fee of around 3% or 4%, the interest savings can far outweigh this, adding up to a huge amount as the months go by. 'They're an effective way to cut costs, and you could start saving money before the start of summer,' Alastair Douglas, TotallyMoney CEO, says. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video According to TotallyMoney, the top balance transfer deals available right now are from Tesco Bank, HSBC and Barclaycard, each of which are offering 33 months interest free. A person with an average interest-bearing balance could avoid paying £1,679 by switching to the HSBC 33-month card. It has one of the lowest fees on the market at 3.19% too. The average saving with Tesco Bank is £1,675, but Alastair also notes that it comes with 0% interest on further money transfers for nine months, 'which you could use to clear expensive overdraft debt.' Barclaycard's 33-month deal comes with a slightly higher fee of 3.45%, meaning a typical customer could save £1,671. But, for those who want to skip fees entirely, the bank has a 14-month fee-free balance transfer card too, allowing successful applicants to save an estimated £753. Other providers, including Vanquis and Fluid, are next on the list with their balance transfer offers – 18 and nine months, respectively – which could help you cut your interest bill by £881 and £394. Bear in mind though, you'll need a good or excellent credit score to be accepted with these lenders – and making multiple applications can harm your credit – so it's best to check eligibility before submitting. More Trending Plus, although a balance transfer can be beneficial, it only saves you cash if you pay off as much of your debt as possible during the interest-free period. Personal finance expert at CredAbility, Aaron Peake, advises: 'If you're regularly carrying a balance month to month, switching cards might offer breathing room, but it's also worth using this time to build habits that help you avoid falling back into the same pattern. 'It's easy to focus on the interest-free period as a way to delay, but to make the most of it, you should treat it like a repayment deadline. Set yourself a realistic repayment plan and automate it if you can. Divide your balance by the number of months you've got interest-free and aim to clear it within that time.'

The last mainline passenger service into Leek from Uttoxeter was on 4 January 1965, according to the the railway's website, with goods traffic ending in July Ilcyszyn said the project really got under way at the end of 2019, supported with a grant of £1.4m of European became stalled by the Covid pandemic and had been "an uphill battle" ever since according to Mr lockdown restrictions were lifted, planning permission for the scheme lapsed."We had all the materials, all the site, all the contracts signed but we now didn't have the planning application," Mr Ilcyszyn said. Once planning approval was approved again, towards the end of 2022 further issues arose as they began laying track, due to sewage pipes running underground parallel to the planned railway were forced to change their original plans, extending the embankment further to one side to give extra space between the track and the Ilcyzsyn said this added about £500,000 to the project's costs and, overall, the scheme fell about a year and a half behind with the last rail laid, the first train ran along the newly extended section of railway on 31 December 2024, just in time to meet their funding deadline. However the project did also face political headwinds with a change in leadership at Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Mr Ilcyszyn said, with a new administration which he claimed was not supportive of the the council's leader, Mike Gledhill, said the new section of railway was a valuable part of the area's tourism strategy."Churnet Valley Railway's extension to Leekbrook is a significant and welcomed development," he added there had been recent contact about possible future funding the line cost about £1.8m so far but there are still plans by the group to build a new station and car parking the railway to Leek brings the added benefit, the organisation said, of connecting with existing amenities within the town, which are not available at other stops along the currently run to Leek during the railway's Steam Heritage Open remaining journeys into Leek this year will take place on 27 September and 18 October, Mr Ilcyszyn added.
