Welcome to the Cheswardine Shop Group Blog.
Our group was formed after the closure of the Village Shop, with the aim of opening a Community run Shop selling essentials, but also acting as a focal point for residents and visitors alike.
We are starting this Blog in October 2009 when a lot of water has aleady passed under our bridge. We have found out the hard way that locating suitable premises, and satisfying the relevant legislation, is a lot more diffucult and time consuming than many of us thought.
If it seems to you that we have taken an age to get a Shop up & running, rest assured it feels even longer to us.

But Hope Springs Eternal and if you read on you will see some very encouraging news on a suitable starting site that has only just come to light.
