Morrisons Abergavenny to trial paper bags

Morrisons is going to remove plastic 'bags for life' at checkouts.

The supermarket chain will replace them with reusable paper bags in a move to become more environmentally friendly.

A trial will start today at four stores which includes Abergavenny.

The company says it'll listen to customers before making the decision to remove them for good across the country.

Morrisons' chief executive, David Potts, said: "We believe customers are ready to stop using plastic carrier bags as they want to reduce the amount of plastic they have in their lives and keep it out of the environment.

"We know that many are taking reusable bags back to store and, if they forget these, we have paper bags that are tough, convenient and a re-useable alternative."
