•  Confidence in the future of the facilities

•  Better fresh bread

•  Could a co-op of local people be formed into a buying consortium if the shop has to close

•  If shop and PO have to close could pubs take on this function

Important to keep shop and PO open.   Fresh fruit and veg, meat supplied as in Barton Stacey would be good

•  fruit & veg in village shop

•  Shop should be open longer

• Wider banking facilities at the post office
