News Charlbury Post office move.

Mon 20 Nov 2017, 16:20

We don't currently need a bigger school, in fact it is under-subscribed this year (although I know there were 1 or 2 years when a few Charlbury children didn't get places). There are only 19/20 children in the reception class this year and the same number in year 6. Every class has at least one free place and this is impacting on the school's funding. It is very important that we don't discourage parents from applying for places at Charlbury school by giving the impression it is full when it's not, as this will continue to reduce funding for the school.

After seeing whatvthe coop in Chipping Norton and Bourton on the water looks like it would be nice to have a coop that's on par with them

Not enough room in the co op as it is - more houses on the way ! Need a bigger co op - a bigger school and more parking

It's been suggested that the Coop will close for a week or two next year for a refit - no official confirmation though.

Will the Co-op have a dedicated counter as Elaine always has loads of sacks and parcels behind her especially on busy days. I am just not seeing how the co op can accommodate?

Will there be a post box at the Spendlove centre?
I wish Elaine the best of luck with the continuation of the shop. How about stocking some art supplies - there are lots of artists in Charlbury. Also some craft materials, ask the W.I. what to stock.

Pearl thank you for your concern. we are pleased to say the shop will not close but will have even more to offer than before, at the moment we are in discussion to hopefully incorporate a small gallery section using local Oxfordshire artists. If anyone has any suggestions on what else they would like please let us know . we are looking forward to improving the shop over the next few months . with everyone support we can make the shop a success . my husband Tim will have a more active roll in the shop and you may even see me in the new Post Office in the Co-Op .

And also ....what bothered me what will happen to Elaine herself?

Sat 18 Nov 2017, 17:55

And, importantly, what happens to Elaine's useful shop?

The Co-Op is a Hermes delivery centre so won't there be a conflict of interest?

Sat 18 Nov 2017, 16:05

More central and with parking in the car park but I am not sure if the coop are going to cope with the volumes of people who come and go unless they have semi-dedicated staff?

The Coop.

Sat 18 Nov 2017, 11:05

Where is it moving to?

Sat 18 Nov 2017, 10:40

And more convenient for most.

Sat 18 Nov 2017, 07:20

But at least we would still have a post office of some sort!
