MORRISONS Girlington has launched it's new free to use community room.

The room, opened by Councillor Fozia Shabeen and store manager Richard Storey, provides a comfortable space for groups to use with tea and coffee making facilities also provided free of charge.

Cllr Shabeen said: "This is an amazing idea. I am extremely grateful to Morrisons for working in partnership with the community. This idea of community engagement is spectacular."

The launch of the facility took place yesterday with Halloween-themed pumpkin-making sessions for children and their parents.

The supermarket, at the Victoria Shopping Centre, says it is bringing the community together in this new venture.
