ABOUT THE VILLAGE / PARISH

F.� FACILITIES AND UTILITIES

1.�� Health Services

The general opinion was that the existing health services were satisfactory.� However, there is a desire to have chiropody and pharmaceutical services within the village.

2.� Village Shop and Post Office

The majority of replies indicated that the village shop/post office was mainly used on a weekly basis, followed by a lower percentage of people using them on a daily basis.�
It is generally felt that the Shop and Post Office are important to the village and are seen to have a wider social use in addition to their normal functions.

3.� Mobile Shops and Library

These services are seen as important assets, although only a small number of people actually use them.
In order to preserve these and other amenities there has to be evidence of public usage/demand.� If not used they will be withdrawn and once gone they will be gone forever.� The old saying applies "USE IT OR LOSE IT"

4.� Public Telephone

This facility is, as expected, mainly used on an occasional basis, but is still a very important facility within the village.� However one public telephone is totally inadequate when the size of the village is taken into account.
