We now have planning approval and building regulations approval fr the shop. If we had the money we could start immediately.

At the Shop Association General Meeting in the Millennium Hall on Friday 14th September members elected their management committee for the next year. Members were told that applications for grants were being prepared but that it was neccesary to raise £30,000 from residents in the form of loan bonds. This particular sum was required to demonstrate a significant "own contribution" to grant awarders.

In the meantime the committee was arranging a number of local fund raising activities which residents were asked to support; follow this link for the programme: fund raising
