Tight Steering on New Bike

I have a month old Carrera Gryphon bought for commuting. Since new I feel that the turning of the bars is not as smooth as my other bikes, It's not notchy or gritty and there is no play in the headset its just feels tight. My question is, have I got a fault that I can talk to Halfords about when I take the bike in for a service or will it get better with use.

    Sounds like the headset is too tight. Take it back to the shop and ask them to fix it.
    I have only two things to say to that; Bo***cks

    Yeah, seconded, headset is possibly too tight. It needs sorting right away or the bearings will get damaged.
