Interestingly the Co-op has decided that it's future strategy is to concentrate on the convenience store model, and has just sold 5 of their larger (more than 11,000 sq.ft) sites down in England to Lidl. I wonder if the existing Co-op store fits into this category and if we're going to Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10213884.post-60894833538248876482014-10-12T21:02:27.788+00:002014-10-12T21:02:27.788+00:00@ anon 8:48 PM

People bulk buy some goods and home deliver foods but more and more are convenience shopping in between and stopping at local butchers/grocers etc. more regularly. I'm not suggesting that may happen here but the expansion of most stores is convenience nowadays.

High number of elderly in our population little thought seems to be given to them and their lack of mobility.<br />That in it's self should be good enough to bring the houses at the old service building back in to use and that would release larger homes for others. To me more like sense than some of the proposals put forward. I.E selling it off cheap to a private enterprise.
