TESCO Esso Express has reopened in Oldswinford after completing a major upgrade of their fuel facilities.

The Hagley Road site had been closed since March following extensive work to the premises.

To mark the occasion, customers were able to run the rule over an Aston Martin Red Bull Racing RB6 show car which was on display in the forecourt area.

Esso also underlined their commitment to the local community by donating £500 to the Kidderminster Food Bank.

Store manager Alan Scotford said: “We support a number of local community groups with surplus food donations through our Community Food Connection programme and we are always keen to hear from more charities who can benefit.”

Denise Carson, treasurer of the food bank, added: “On behalf of the Kidderminster Food Bank and the people this will be supporting, we’d like to thank Esso for this generous donation.

“We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry.

“This donation will go towards providing emergency food and support to local people in crisis – making a real difference to their lives.”
