Budgens reopens

CUSTOMERS welcomed the re-opening of Budgens supermarket in Heathfield last week.

The first 50 shoppers through the door on Thursday were treated to a free bottle of wine. Store manager Tracy Dunkerly said: 'The day went very well. We ve had lots of positive feedback from the customers.

The store had been closed for over three months after being gutted by an arson attack in August. It was fitting, therefore, that the supermarket should be reopened by Sub Officer John Field, of Heathfield Fire Station. Ms Dunkerly presented SO Field with a donation of 250 to the Fire Services Benevolent Fund.
