Co op

[macpc]

The cats amongst the pigeons, do we want a co op or not lets hear some views. Do we keep what we already have or introduce some more choice???

[haxeyblue]

i hope we do, a kick up the backside for greenhill stores, might treat their customers a little better

[haxeyblue]

one of the objections fro Greenhill stores is about the extra traffic!!
i assume the co-op will have a car park and then people wont be pulling out blind by the cars parked near the Greenhill shop

Good turn out for public meeting, who this "we" everyone kept talking about, not all of us want the kind of village "we" keep talking about. Seems quite a few at the meeting want a Coop.

Greenhill stores have got a petition you have to sign or you get barred. good to know the owner knows how to look after customers, may free speech live on

i used to work at misterton co op for about 12 months their car park has 35 spaces the proposed site at haxey has 15 but same size store ?? in the time i was there the delivery lorries had about 5 accidents crashing into customers parked cars gonna be a nightmare at the new haxey one also 4 lorries a day big ones as well coming up high street bad news for haxey i feel really sorry for the 4 shops in haxey now give it a few years and there will just be the co op just like misterton people can try and fight it but i know the lady who is gonna run the haxey one and she says it will go ahead no matter how many poeple sign a petition so much for freedom of speech

i would really like to sign this petition is it in all the shops i dont want a co op in haxey we dont need one when theres one at misterton and epworth high street is already a traffic nightmare with the new cafe try parking there on a saturday impossible

[haxeyblue]

i am worried about all these nightmares. for the i am alright party, how do you get to misterton by public transport? Try driving through haxey when everyone has parked outside the pubs, yet no one complains about that

I would like to express my views, while we may wish to stay a small village with quaint shops it is ecomonically a necessity that we are able to buy the goods we require in the village without having to undertake a 20 minute car ride. The shops we presently have are not under threat from a new establishment it may make them sit up and take notice of the customers they do have. I despair for the parking situation at Green Hill and one day there will be a serious accident.
We are a large enough population to make the new Coop and the existing shops viable concerns.

Well it is good to see a full and frank exchange of views on here.

I would encourage all those who have not signed up to do so - and also pass the details of the board to their friends.

Some interesting comments - but please keep your comments within reason.

Personally, i have no objection to the proposal

[MATHEW HAXEY]

i was at the meeting last tuesday and cant see how such a small co op is gonna bring anything extra to the village they are not gonna stock anything more than what our four existing shops already stock i thought they might have a butchers but they said not which is a shame because that is one thing that haxey needs

Interestingly Low Street Stores do not have a view either way on the potential new store. It seems to be the other shop that is stirring things up - I assume with their customers in mind rather than their own interests?

At the end of the day there are only certain reasons for declining the plans and the LCS will have them all covered.

Of course if everyone boycotts it they will hav e trouble and close down.

So - a year or more on from the Co-op opening.

What are the views now? The car park can be busy but never full and there are folk working there.

What next?
