The shop is staffed by volunteers from the community and offers a range of goods including dairy products, bread, tinned and packet items as well as stationery, vegetables and the other items which we can all run out of at inconvenient times. Our aim is to sell as much local produce as is practicable.
The post office, run by Christine Dolan, provides a range of services including withdrawal of cash with a Chip-&-PIN card from any major bank; other day-to-
day banking if you bank with Alliance & Leicester, Barclays, the Co-op, or Lloyds; pensions and benefits; bill payments; insurance etc; and of course, posting letters and parcels.
As well as the shop and post office the building also provides a local information centre complete with local notice boards.
