Chelmsley chippy will reopen for business next week

A DATE has been set for the official reopening of Chelmund's Fish and Chips.

Yesterday the business announced on its Facebook page that it would be welcoming customers from next Thursday (April 26).

The outlet, at Chelmund's Cross, had closed its doors a short while after opening, following the resignation of its chief fryer. 

Acknowledging "teething problems", the team behind the venture said they would not rush to reopen.

Now however, around a month on, the chippy has hired a replacement and confirmed the date for reopening. Doors are scheduled to open at 4pm.

The fast food business is unique in that it invests profits back into the community. Indeed it is thought that it is the first chip shop to operate in this fashion in the whole of the UK.
