TEENS have already been making use of the new youth shelter in Culcheth.

Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council joined forces with IGas, Stronger Together, the Education Trust and Taylor Business Park to fund the £7,980 project.

A spokesman for the group said: “The youth shelter’s been used regularly since it was installed.

“With perhaps a couple more of these and a few other facilities for the younger villagers to call their own it'll add even more strength and diversity to the community spirit here in Culcheth.”

The parish council is now looking at introducing a path leading to the shelter and a bin.
