Bev Place, Rochdale Co-op's Member Pioneer said: "It was an absolute honour to welcome our Mayor and MP to the Hebron Church.

“Local residents were thrilled to see them and appreciated the opportunity to talk about local issues.

“The Co-op is passionate about making a difference to communities and events like this are a great way to bring people together.

“I would like to extend my thanks to Rooley Moor Road Co-op for their kind donation of the products used at the Coffee Morning."
