A SUPERMARKET in Weymouth has fixed its free air and water machine after it has been out of action since mid-February.

The machine at Sainsbury's in Mercery Road had been out of action, much to the annoyance of customers looking to pump up their tyres free of charge.

Unlike other petrol stations and supermarkets, Sainsbury's is known to provide machines that allow customers to use their air and water machines at no cost - with other sites charge between 20p to £1.

A Sainsbury’s spokeswoman said: “The air and water machine at our Weymouth petrol filling station has now been repaired.

"We would like thank our customers for their patience while we worked to fix it.”

While the machine was out of action, the nearest air pump station was at the nearby Morrisons, which charges 20p.
