A WEIGHT Watchers Centre is being opened in Chelmsford to help give those looking to shed pounds after Christmas more choice.

The facility will be available at the Nuffield Health and Wellbeing Centre in Riverside Retail Park with the ribbon being cut on January 7.

Open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the centre will allow people looking to shift a few kilos to attend meetings over a range of times rather than a set weekly event.

Advice on how to lose weight will also be openly available.

The centre will open from 9am to 9pm on Tuesdays, 8am to 8pm on Thursdays and 8am to 11am on Saturdays.
