You won't have to wait long to enjoy a cuppa at West Park Café again.

Cheshire East Council has confirmed to Macclesfield Nub News that it will be August when you can enjoy a brew at West Park Café again.

Earlier this year, the West Park Café, along with a sister park café in Crewe faced an uncertain future.

This was as the operator went bust. But now, Macclesfield Leisure Centre operators Everybody Health and Leisure, under their Taste for Life Café moniker, is set to take over both park coffee shops.

Tom Shuttleworth, interim director environment and neighbourhoods for Cheshire East Council, said: "Everybody Health and Leisure (EHL) have signed lease arrangements to allow them to run the cafés at Queens Park in Crewe and West Park in Macclesfield on a temporary basis while the council procures a new operator for both sites.

"The temporary arrangement is expected to see EHL operate the cafés until August next year.

"The café at Queens Park closed on Saturday with contractors starting on site yesterday (Tuesday 25 June) to undertake important works. EHL is expected to reopen the Queens Park café on the week commencing Monday 15 July.

"The café at West Park will remain closed until works on this site are complete with EHL expected to reopen on the week commencing Monday 5 August.

"The council understands that the temporary closure of the café in Queens Park and the continued closure of the café in West Park is disappointing for the parks' many visitors.

"However, these are essential works that will allow EHL to take over operations over the summer and help support the long-term future for these important community assets.

'We thank all park users for their patience while these works take place."

Thomas Barton, chief executive officer at Everybody Health & Leisure, said: "We are delighted to be able to take our 'Taste for Life' service into the parks at both Queens Park in Crewe and West Park in Macclesfield.

"Our food and beverage menus are designed with all families in mind when visiting and we hope to support all the different activities taking place in the parks this summer and beyond."
