Use it or lose it

At the Neighbourhood Forum on 3 February, Peter Finlay made an impassioned plea for people to continue using the local retailers in the village.  Local shops had seen an increase in business due to the poor weather, however as the poor weather retreats people may think about returning to the larger stores away from the village.

One village shop has recently closed and if people don't support them others will follow.  Peter said it is important for people to realise that they must "use it or lose it".
