A NEWLY-OPENED fish and chip shop came to the rescue when a Grimethorpe care home suffered a day-long power cut.
White City Chippy, on Cemetery Road, opened early to cook for Hallsteads Care Home's residents after it was hit by an electrical fault last Thursday.
With teatime fast approaching and 45 residents to feed, the home, on Stacey Crescent, put in an urgent call to Jane Eeles, 45, who runs the shop with 25-year-old daughter Chelsea Priestley.
Jane said: "We couldn't let them go hungry so we opened early and did our best to help."
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
