Bewsey Community centre may become community shop

Bewsey Community Park Centre, on Troutbeck Avenue, is the subject of a planning application to turn the combined bowling club and offices into a community shop and kitchen.

Today is #StopFoodWasteDay.

Around 33% of all food produced globally is lost or wasted every year. We’re proud to help put a stop to perfectly good food from going to waste by working with our partners to redistribute #surplus for the benefit of people and our planet. pic.twitter.com/kLhiTml1mv

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.

It was great to be part of @ITVTonight's programme to spread the word on how our members save money on their shopping and stop perfectly good products from going to waste.

This allows the company to help 'stretched budgets go further.'

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."
