The plaice to be for Chelmsley chip lovers

FRYING HIGH: Chelmund's Fish and Chips will open this Thursday.

CHIP, chip hooray! A fast food outlet run by the local community is set to open its doors in Chelmsley Wood next week.
The traditional fish and chip shop is based at one of the retail units at Chelmund’s Cross, with all profits raised from the venture ploughed back into the local area.
The enterprise is a joint effort between the nearby Three Trees Centre, Development in Social Enterprise, the Olive Branch Kitchen, Chelmsley Baptist Church and St Andrew's Church.
Staff have now been recruited to run the business, with equipment including fryers and fridges having been brought in.
After several weeks of preparation, it has now been confirmed that the grand opening will take place this Thursday (March 1) at 4pm.
There has been a lot of interest in the project, with the BBC's The One Show having done some filming last week. It's understood the magazine programme will broadcast a piece on the chippy in the coming weeks.
An official Twitter account, which has been providing regular updates on the launch preparations, said the idea had also received a warm response from local people, with residents welcoming the news that the takings will be going to community causes rather than "some shareholder’s second Mercedes."
Youth activities, older people's groups and various community events will be among the main beneficiaries of the project.
