THERE are three designated ‘warm hubs’ in Middlewich to give residents a safe space to escape the cold during the cost-of-living crisis.

Councils and groups across the country have been preparing to open up warm hubs where members of the community can go to and keep themselves warm for a few hours during the day, as well as enjoy hot drinks and company.

In September, Middlewich Town Council voted unanimously to provide a warm shelter for its residents.

There are now three hubs across the town:
