IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Warrington. Mike here. This is The Warrington Scoop.

You’ve probably signed up to the Scoop as you love all things Warrington……. so today's email is supporting all those independent shops that people have set up across the town. Amazon is great for online shopping, but if you can, pop into some of the shops in the guide we have put together and support local 😃 

In today’s Scoop:

• One massive independent shop guide for you to check out this Christmas 🛍️ 

• From the papers 📰 

Grab your favourite brew, and let's start. ☕️ 

Sponsored by P.C. Bathrooms and Tiling

P.C. Bathrooms & Tiling is run by Phil, and the team has built a strong reputation for bathroom and wetroom projects that are carried out with care and attention to detail.

They also cover day-to-day plumbing work such as leaks, heating issues, and repairs that need quick attention.

To see their standard of work, visit their Instagram and TikTok pages, which feature numerous recent projects and completed rooms.
