Clapham & District Newsletter

Number 88, April, 2014

Clapham Community Shop Steering Group Following the overwhelming backing of the community, the Steering Group has begun to look into the feasibility of the village store becoming a community-owned and run business. However, Terry had to make the difficult decision to close the shop on 24 May, despite last-minute efforts initiated by a villager to rally support. We wish Terry well for the future and for his other business interests. As a newly-formed voluntary group we are not in a position to immediately step in and take on the shop, but we will be continuing with the feasibility study, once we have reviewed what we now need to do and the timetable for doing it. An immediate task is to liaise with the Post Office about the possibility of a temporary ‘outreach facility’ being set up in the village. The Steering Group comprises Nick Burton, John Dawson, Diane Elphinstone, James Innerdale, Wendy Jennings, Eddie Leggett, Sue Mann, Esther Pugh, Denise Wilson and me. We’ll keep you informed through the village newsletter and other means but if you’d like to be added to an emailing list please email Wendy on [email protected].
