Located at 1 Greenmeadow Drive, Parc Seymour, the shop sells groceries, newspapers and frozen food, and a range of organic and fairtrade foods. When in 2008 it was announced that the post office inside the shop would close, local residents banded together to ensure that the shop remained open. More than 100 residents each gave a minimum £50 unsecured loan towards the running and refurbishment of the village shop, with no certainly that the project would be completed. The new shop was formally opened on November 4th 2008, staffed by a rota of 50 volunteers, who do an average of two hours each week in shifts of two.
