Lyceum Square Café

The Crewe Local Area Partnership (LAP) is joining forces with community groups in Crewe to make the most of an empty building in Lyceum Square.

The Lyceum Square café is due to open soon, but before it does, the site has been given over to a one-stop shop, offering a variety of free activities and information sessions.

Some of the sessions on offer over the coming weeks include:

• Friday, February 18, PCSOs Paula Davies and Charlotte Pound holding a police drop-in surgery;
• Saturday, February 19, the Valley Gap Community Group promoting their work and how to get involved;
• Monday, February 21, the Council’s Streetscape and Local Engagement Teams promoting the Crewe Clean Team, ward walks, art activity and area assemblies; and
• Friday, February 25, people will be able to find out more about the upcoming Census and advice on how to complete it.

The drop-in promotional stall will be running until Saturday, February 26.

Councillor Jamie Macrae, Cabinet member with responsibility for prosperity, said: “This is an excellent scheme offering a variety of groups in south Cheshire a platform to promote their work and activities free of charge.

“This is a prime example of the Council working with others to deliver for the residents of Cheshire East.”

Councillor Margaret Martin, ward member for Crewe East, said: ““There is a wide variety of organisations involved and I hope that people will drop in and see if there is anything of interest to them.”
