A CREDIT Union is to open its doors in Dalton on Friday.
Barrow Credit Union has said due to its increasing popularity it has now introduced a Dalton base at Dalton Community Association offices, 21 Nelson Street.
The Dalton service will initially open every Friday between 9am and 3pm.
Barrow Credit Union opened for business in February 2013 and has now made loans approaching £400,000 in total and has active membership of around 1,200.
Pauline Gardner, a director at Barrow Credit Union, said: "We are delighted to be opening in Dalton. We offer the cheapest small loans in the area as well as simple savings accounts for the whole community including children. Our Christmas loans have always been very popular. We very much hope that Dalton residents will pop in for an informal chat to see what we can offer."
