End of era as final traders leave CPS Centre but new lease of life for popular cafe

AS the final traders left the CPS Centre at Culcheth the popular Sundial Terrace Café was celebrating a new lease of life which has been welcomed by local Independent Cllr. Neil Johnson.

Borough and Parish Cllr. Johnson, who has been campaigning on behalf of traders since the shock closure news last month, has expressed his delight that the Sundial Terrace café, previously located in the CPS Centre, will be given a new lease of life at the Daten Sports and Social Club.

The café was forced to vacate the premises following the decision by the CPS Centre landlords to evict their tenants earlier this year.
Cllr. Johnson said: “I am delighted, both for the Sundial Terrace café and the other businesses formerly of the CPS Centre, who have managed to find new premises throughout the village.
“Our community is a thriving hub of local employment. I was determined to do everything possible to help these tenants, not only with their storage and notice periods, but with securing new rental space for their businesses.

“I am delighted that the Sundial Terrace café, a very popular place to eat and enjoy freshly cooked meals by the brilliant team who work there, has found a new home at the Daten. I encourage all residents to support our local eateries whenever they can, whether that be restaurants, cafes or pubs. As long as we spend locally, the people who work there can be assured of secure jobs with good wages. It makes sense to help our village economy and support one another.
“I will be arranging to hold a councillor’s drop-in surgery at the Sundial Terrace café in the future so that residents can come and speak with me, face to face, over a cup of tea.”
