Village Shop Applies For Change Of Use

The village shop, which has been reduced to just a post office for several years, has applied for change of use from a retail use to domestic.

The Shop Committee and the Parish Council oppose the application as they say that a shop could be viable, and that as this is the last shop premises in the village it must not be lost.

This change has come about as the Vale of The White Horse District Council has signed a new contract for rubbish collection and re-cycling. It's not clear at present how the information will be used by the District Council.
