A COMMUNITY centre in Bewsey will be turned into a community shop and kitchen.

Bewsey Community Park Centre, on Troutbeck Avenue, will be converted into a community shop and kitchen after planning permission was granted from Warrington Borough Council.

The plans to turn the centre into a community kitchen usually involve residents coming together to create healthy, affordable meals on a regular basis.

Currently, the centre has two function rooms that are suitable for 'almost any activity,' according to Warrington Borough Council's website - the large room can seat up to 20 people.

The application has been put in by Company Shop Ltd., a company that has been around for nearly 50 years.

The company aims to take surplus products (which otherwise would have gone to waste) from well-known brands, and sell them at affordable prices.

The company's promise is: "To earn the trust and loyalty of all our stakeholders by ensuring our shared endeavours are always in the best interest of people and planet whilst respecting commercial success."
