What can you buy?
The Community Shop is intended to be a "pop-in" type shop for the
everyday essentails, such as newspapers, milk, bread, eggs, butter,
fruit, vegetables, meats and pies, suasages, cakes and biscuits, jams
and preserves, tea and coffee, pens and notepaper, stamps and
envelopes...
We are open to more suggestion - please let us know what you would like to
buy in the village here
Where does it come from?
Our aim is to continue the "Local as possible" theme set by the monthly
trial shops. Our foods and services will come from the nearest
practical supplier - ask us!
What about parking spaces?
None. We want to encourage as many residents as possible to leave their
cars at home and walk to the shop. The shop is no more than 10 minutes
walk from anywhere in the village, including upper Almondsbury. Get
healthy, get active, save the petrol and the wear-and-tear on your car!
Can I help?
Of course you can! Working in the Community Shop will be the best way
to get involved in the village and feel a part of the community. All
volunteers are welcome to put in some time. Contact
us now!
