SOMERFIELD supermarket in Congleton has extended its opening hours after closing its off licence because of structural problems.

The off licence in Sandbach Road was closed after the roof was discovered to be unstable, possibly as a result of a crack in a joist.

The off licence opened seven days a week until 10pm, and will remain shut for six weeks while reroofing work is carried out.

As a result the Somerfield store in the nearby West Heath Shopping Centre has extended its Monday to Saturday opening hours until 10pm.
