Village without a shop finally set for convenience store after years of complaints
A Preston village whose residents have bemoaned the lack of basic services within its borders could be in line for a convenience store and drive-thru coffee shop.
During a long-running campaign to turn the derelict and fire-damaged former village pub, The Boar’s Head, into a community hub several years ago, residents highlighted the fact that there was nowhere in the immediate vicinity where they could get staple foods like bread and milk. The hope had been to bring The Boar’s Head back to life as a wide-ranging facility, possibly combining a shop, post office and drop-in health clinic – as well as a bar and eatery.
However, she added that fellow villagers would probably not be against getting their hopes up too soon. “We’ve all heard this phrase ‘could include a shop’ before [when planning applications are proposed]. It happened on land next to me, but no shop was ever built, with the [developer] saying there was no interest – so an application was put in for three more houses instead.
According to a leaflet distributed in the area, a planning application is likely to be submitted in the coming months and, if approved, construction work would begin in “late 2023 or early 2024”. The document advises that “feedback and comments” are being sought before the application is finalised.
