Co-op’s helping hand

PUPILS from St George’s Primary School lent a helping hand when they officially opened the new-look Co-op food store in Mossley.

Youngsters from the Stamford Street school used a pair of giant scissors to cut the ribbon in front of the £500,000 new store.

Store manager Steve Lowe then presented the children with a £200 donation for school funds to mark the occasion.

He said: “As a community retailer it is appropriate that we involve the community in our special events. We are delighted our local school is playing a central role in our relaunch.”
