From The Papers 📰 

Here are some positive stories from around the town over the past few days.

🏫 The secret to this high school being named as the happiest one in Warrington (Warrington Guardian)

🍺 New Irish pub will soon be opening in Warrington town centre (Warrington Guardian)

🐕️ Warrington couple feature on national TV as dog expert helps solve ‘love triangle’ (Warrington Guardian)

Weather ⛅️ 

• Friday: A cloudy but mild day with highs of 17°C and lows of 11°C. Decent enough for getting out and about, but don’t expect much sun.

• Saturday: Light rain on and off, with temperatures dropping to 14°C during the day and 8°C overnight. Might be a brolly day if you're heading out.

• Sunday: More light rain sticking around, with highs of 13°C and a cooler 7°C later on. Not a total washout, but a good excuse for a cosy pub stop.

Looking ahead, Monday stays mostly cloudy with similar temps before things cool slightly through the week.
