THE Mayor of Test Valley, Neville Whiteley, has formally opened the new Life at Pub in Andover's London Street.

It's only the third pub of its kind to be opened by Luminar Leisure in the country - the others are at Wellingborough and Corby.

The Mayor and Mayoress Janet Whiteley opened the new pub before spending time talking to customers.

Manager Howard Cooper described Life at Pub as a community-based concept. It will be open at the traditional pub times of 11am to 11pm Monday to Saturday and 12noon to 10.30pm on Sundays.

And in about two weeks' time the new nightclub is due to be launched.

It will be open initially every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
