Swallowfield Parish Council announces the reopening of the Parish Stores

We are delighted to welcome to the parish Jasdeep Singh and his wife, Avneet Juneja as new tenants of the Parish Stores.  As you may have seen, they are working hard over the weekend to get the shop ready to re-open on Monday.  Initially they will be able to offer all the essentials including milk, bread, eggs, butter as well as a good selection of other items. Newspapers should be available from the following week and the post office counter will reopen in due course. Jasdeep will be adding to the range of products held at the shop as soon as practicable and would welcome suggestions from the community for items that you would like to see stocked.

They will be serving fresh tea, coffee, cakes and snacks “on the house” for their opening day to welcome residents.   So please do call into the shop to say hello.

Please note that for the time being they will only be able to accept cash payments but they will get a card machine set up as soon as possible.

The steps required to reopen the post office counter have also started but that reopening will take a little longer because of the formalities required by the Post Office.
