Deli to open doors

A DELI hopes to taste success.

The final preparations are being made to the city’s newest food outlet, Gastro Deli, on Commonhall Street.

Proprietor Ann Blundell, of Upton, said: “I was recently made redundant so I thought now was the time to start the business I had always wanted to run.”

The deli opens on Thursday, August 13, selling made-to-order sandwiches, paninis, salads and fresh baked breads.

There will be a deli counter and speciality coffee and tea will be on sale.

The deli will also offer corporate catering for lunches and breakfast meetings.

Walkers warned

DOG walkers in Kelsall have been warned to clean up after their pets after the village’s parish council reported a reoccurrence of the unsightly problem.

The Kelsall Green Recreation Committee reported to the council meeting that the problem was ongoing and that a change in legislation could be considered.

Clerk Natalie Read said: “Dog fouling is just not going away. Can we apply for a by-law? This is a recreation area not a dog fouling area. Could we restrict dog walkers to the footpath and lead?”

A new sign-posting initiative is being looked into by members of the committee.
