A NEW store in East Yorkshire town has received the mayoral seal of approval.

Coun Joyce Fletcher, Mayor of Driffield, cut the ribbon and declared the new-look Wilkinson outlet on Middle Street South officially open.

Store manager Bev Walker presented a cheque to Coun Fletcher for her chosen charities as mayor, the Driffield Skate and BMX Park and The Samaritans, as well as to the manager of The Limes care home, Tracey Bullas, which will go towards activities and equipment for its residents.

Coun Fletcher said: “It is wonderful to see a high street retailer investing in Driffield’s shopping centres.”
