Central England Co-op offers free services for commuters
Central England Co-op has launched some new services to help commuters who want to walk or cycle to work as Covid-19 lockdown restrictions begin to ease.
The retailer is offering free water refills, phone charging points, indoor and outdoor seating, and customer toilets at selected Central England Co-op stores. In addition, free bike repair kits will be made available at all stores.
The retailer has also started rolling out public use bicycle repair stations at its new sites.
Debbie Robinson, Central England Co-op chief executive, said: “As a co-operative, our communities are always at the heart of all our decisions, especially during these uncertain times.
“This is why we wanted to make sure we are there for people heading back to work and supporting those choosing to walk or cycle to help continue efforts to defeat the coronavirus.
“Anyone commuting to or from work can nip into one of our stores and enjoy free access to all different kinds of support from customer toilets and water refills to special charging points and special store bike repair kits.”
