Pupils launch £150k revamp
PUPILS from St Mary's Primary and Newtown Primary schools took on star status to perform the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the revamped Co-op store on Church Road, New Mills.
The children – Baden Millard, Jennifer Hunt, Mia Greenwood, Oliver Brown and Kian Walker – were presented with donations of £100 for each school's funds by store manager Andrew Hewson to mark the occasion.
"As a community retailer it is appropriate that we involve the community in our special events and we are delighted that our local schools could play a central role," said Mr Hewson.
The store has been transformed following a £150,000 revamp and features the consumer-owned business' new identity, The co-operative, which aims to highlight improved service standards as well as its commitment to supporting local communities and ethical trading policies.
