CASTLE Point’s mayor officially opened a new Pets at Home store in Rayleigh.

Councillor Brian Wood took part in a guided tour of the new facilities, including a new pet salon at the store in Pelican Retail Park last Friday.

Alex Camp, store manager, said: “What a fantastic start. Our opening weekend went even better than we had hoped and it was great to receive the mayor of Castle Point and show him the new amenities that we have on offer at the store.”
