We would really like to thank the community for their support during the works, and now that the works have concluded we are really enjoying their positive response and reaction. We are proud to be part of the local community, and with a focus on delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone - we’re here to contribute to local life and conveniently serve and support Swinton.”
