Lighthearted but a conversation coming up frequently in my Village.
I live in a village population around 2250, we have a “main street” which has all the shops/amenities on it, currently 3 of these units are vacant and their is a lot of convo on what it would be nice to have fill them. Here is what we currently have
- A co-op
- A Spar with a post office
- A pharmacy
- A hairdressers
- A barbers
- A coffee shop
- 2 Gastropubs
- A Bakery/Deli
- A tiny little bookshop
- A cycle shop/club
- A Chinese take away
- A fish and chip shop
- A little independent artists studio/shop
- A library (although hardly open these days)
People mainly come to the village as slightly further out we have a golf course and lots of good walks. The cycle club is very popular as is the local tennis and Bowles clubs so this brings people too!
The units available are all relatively small, one was the barbers (moved into the where the butchers was), one was a bakery (no need for 2 it turns out) and one was a post office (moved into the spar).
AIBU to want to know what you’d put in the units if you lived here and got to pick?
