Martyn Howson, Co-op Fairwater Store Manager, said:

“The whole team is delighted to have the opportunity to invest in Fairwater – the store looks fantastic, and has been totally transformed. It is always our aim to operate at the heart of local life and we have worked to ensure the quality, choice, added services and value to create a compelling offer with which to serve and support our community, conveniently.”

A soft plastic recycle unit is available in store to enable the community to return ‘soft plastics’ including: crisp packets and bread bags, lids from ready meals and yogurt pots, biscuit wrappers and, pet food pouches – ensuring all Co-op’s own food packaging is recyclable through either local authority kerbside collections, or the in-store soft plastic recycling.
