Our Village Shop

Our village shop and Post Office may be about to close. It provides a vital part of our community.

How important is it to you to have a shop and Post Office in the village in the future? 

Everyone should have received a paper questionnaire (additional copies are available in the shop). Please complete it as honestly as you can and return it to the collection box on the counter at the shop. You can provide your name or make an anonymous response. 

If you prefer, you can complete the online form.

It is important that as many people as possible give their views. The closing date for questionnaires is 17 October 2026.

Findings and next steps will be presented at a Public Meeting on 14 November 2026 at the Austwick Parish Hall.
