Building Access Rules and Information - Reuse Centre
The Reuse Centre is a large building found at 138-142 Chepstow Road, NP19 8EG. The building was once a supermarket and is sometimes listed as 'Summerfield' on the SatNav.
Reuse Shop Opening Times
The Reuse Shop is open 9am to 4.30pm on Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturday. The makerspace is not necessarily open during these hours, always check in advance to avoid disappointment! Asking on our Facebook Group is a good place to start.
Parking
The Weatherspoons Car Park is unfortunately only for Weatherspoons customers - we recommend using the low-cost Maindee Car Park on Chepstow Road if you are driving.
Accessing the Makerspace out of Reuse Shop opening times
When accessing the Makerspace out of Reuse Shop hours, you need to arrive at the rear door to the building (Weatherspoons Car Park) and contact a makerspace keyholder to be let in. The makerspace phone number is 07762 950834. This phone is left in the space and is only used for this reason.
The building is alarmed, so do not attempt to enter the shop floor or any space other than those mentioned below out of shop hours!
Reuse Centre Facilities
Makerspace members are allowed to use the Community Canteen and Volunteers Room as well as the Makerspace. There are toilets on both floors of the building. Makers are also allowed to use the large community room, but we must first get permission from Wastesavers staff
Goods Lift
Only individuals who have permission from Wastesavers are allowed to use the lift - the lift is available for people who are unable to use the stairs or to transport large or heavy items to the makerspace, please contact a makerspace volunteer to organise this in advance.
Remember, Wastesavers staff and volunteers will help if you are in need!
