A FUTURE VILLAGE SHOP/PO – STEERING GROUP UPDATE Joy and David Gaytten postponed their planned closure by 12 months, until June 2012, and this has allowed the Steering Group to research, discuss and negotiate future options for opening a sustainable and viable <strong>Community</strong> Shop/PO in Uley. 3 locations, where space for a shop could be leased have been identified: the existing Uley stores the cottage adjacent to the Old Crown the annexe (front left) of 70 The Street To progress negotiations in a fair, independent and professional manner, Mike Bennett of Bennett Jones has been retained to appraise each option from the perspective of rent, condition and suitability. This exercise was made possible by the willing co-operation of the 3 prospective landlords. Further advice and support has been provided by the Parish Council and Chris Cowcher from GRCC. A Feasibility Study has been prepared comparing the merits of each option and the Steering Group is currently reviewing this and aims to decide a clear preference, and thus a decisive way forward, this month. The Steering Group fully recognises the importance to the village of the choice; the need to communicate how and why the selection was arrived at; and the importance of engaging the understanding and support of the whole village. This is vital – the enthusiasm and passion of the village to keep a village store/PO open in Uley has to translate into fund-raising early in 2012. Whilst all avenues for grants/loans/donations from outside will be pursued vigorously, it's up to all of us in Uley to make a community shop/PO a successful reality. So, more news soon and then the real work begins! Minutes of meetings are displayed on village notice boards and website, and meetings are open to all. Uley Primary School Uley Primary wish to thank the Uley Fireworks for their donation of £500 towards school funds. It is going to be put to very good use providing useful learning opportunities for our children. Thank you and well done for a spectacular display and fund raising effort. 13
