SALTNEY is to host an Older Persons Day this Saturday.

The event, which will be held in the community centre on Sandy Lane from 2pm, will feature an afternoon tea dance and buffet foods.

Cllr Veronica Gay, who is organising the day, said: “We are hoping to get a folk group and the town council has kindly donated £250 for the funding of this event, as it is aware of the importance older people have in the community.

“Admission is free and tickets can be obtained from myself on 01244 671360 or from Cllr Edith Greensmith on 01244 681152.”
