I HAD not been in town for a while, but I was pleasantly surprised when I went down Sankey Street last week.

The former Co-op building, which had turned into a complete eyesore, is now looking superb.

Whoever has taken it on has done a great job.

I went into the mall and there are lots of lovely small businesses and places to eat, with a lot of extra rooms ready to open.

The bakery was also amazing with delicious bread and treats.

What a benefit to Warrington.
