The Village Post Office is now designated as a “Community Office” after a long and hard fight. This means that it remains worthwhile to run. It is therefore hard for the shop to now appeal to the village to use it. Please come in and have a look round. The shop is not expensive and it carries lots of bargain lines. In a price comparison against Tesco’s website of 15 items last year, the shop was a little bit cheaper overall. It is a continual struggle to make ends meet. If the shop doesn’t have what you’re looking for, then ask and they’ll try to order it for you. The future of the post office and shop are intertwined, one can’t exist without the other.
