Following a recent Public Meeting about the impending closure of St Breward Stores & Post Office, a Steering Group has been set up to investigate the feasibility of opening a community shop in St Breward.
An important part of the early process is the requirement to ask the community of St Breward to complete a questionnaire on the need for such a facility in our Village. The answers given in the questionnaire will be used to seek funding and guidance towards setting up a formal undertaking to open a community shop in the Village
Within the next few days the questionnaire will be delivered by hand to the nearly 500 properties in the Parish, please do fill in the questionnaire and return it to one of the following:
St Breward Stores & Post Office The Old Inn, Moorgoods in Penvoder Lane, Hill Meadow postbox, situated on gate next to the school sign
