WEAVER Vale MP Mike Hall dropped into the Information Centre in Northwich to sign up as a member of Cheshire Neighbours Credit Union this week.

Mr Hall is encouraging his constituents to follow suit with the “credit crunch” still looming large across the country.

He said: “The saving and loan facilities offered by the CNCU means even those on modest incomes could build up a nest egg for the future, and avoid the dangers of the high interest charges on loans that can come with other forms of borrowing.”
