What would you like in (insert your town/village/city) that currently isn't here?

a Butcher

Target!

You'd love my local.

Huge building with all the areas on the ground floor.

There is an adult only drinking area, an adult only dining area, an eating area for anyone, and indoor play area - behind fairly soundproof doors outside there is another seating area and a pirate ship shaped play area.

THey have a carvery and a typical pub menu.

What I want is the small local branch of the building society. They closed it during covid and there is a branch in the town centre, but you can't get near it on a bus or in a car.

The local branch had parking and lovely staff.

Costco

We have this it’s a fiver a day for a desk. It’s very much not for profit but such a good idea.

Greengrocers

we have a butchers and a couple of shops that sell milk, bread, cheese, alchohol and even other food but not veg

If there was a shop to buy fresh veg then with the butchers we could buy food for a meal without leaving the village

we have a pharmacy and salon too

A lido. There was one when I was a child and it made us happy all day long, all summer long.

A gym. I live in a large village which has most amenities but a gym would be great. A few more trains would be good too but that's not really an amenity, just more use of the train line.

Come to Liverpool!

A Tourism Tax with the proceeds spent on Social Housing.

I'd like some of the cafes in the town to be in more useful places. We have plenty of them but they're all together and we have none in the places where myself and loads of others go walking.

Massive park out of town - nowhere to get a drink.
Riverside meadows - ditto
Massive common popular with dog walkers - ditto.

Just a mobile kiosk with a few deck chairs outside would do!

A veggie cafe/takeaway (with loads for vegans too).

Quite trendy but very welcoming.

A decent bypass.

One or two decent restaurants. There are a fair few chain placed and the odd decent pub, but it's crying out for a good Italian restaurant and maybe a tapas place.

Our tiny town(just over 2000 pop, yes that's a town in wales) has a reasonable amount of facilities but could do with a supermarket that isn't coop. We are use to travelling a long long way for stuff, that's rural wales for you. The town everyone goes to for shopping etc needs more leisure facilities. It's a university town and a bit boring. There is nothing to do there like ten pin bowling or something.

An NHS dentist.
Better public transport.

Basically the sort of things the government should be working on

A park.

A beach.
We live about 75 miles from the nearest coast!!

A post office

A supermarket that isn’t Tesco, wish we had a Sainsburys/asda/morrisons.

@CeeJay81 you only have a Coop? I shall pray for you. Their prices are so eye wateringly expensive they must make the sort of profits that would make Tesco blush.

In our village, a pub (the last one closed 30 years ago).
In our local town, a greengrocers and a fishmonger (we have them as market traders for 4 hours on a Friday morning but not everyone can get there then)

A decent pub
An Italian
Better bus service. It’s limited at best at the moment and we have nothing on Sundays. We do have a train station though which helps.
An NHS dentist

@TheThingIsYeah it's ok for me, as it's my place of work, so I get 30% off coop own brand. So meat, milk, fruit&veg and bread are cheaper than tesco/aldi. You either have to travel 18 miles to the local town or do home delivery otherwise.

A coastline, and a few mountains. I come from Dublin which is on the coast, around a bay, with a half ring of small friendly mountains around it on the land side.

Now I live in London, which is awesome, but it could really use a nice bay to look over and some decent hills in the background.

A bit of ethnic diversity wouldn't go amiss in our rural Cornish village.
