Campaign Story
Our local newsagents has been put up for sale and will soon be closed if there are no buyers, the problem is because its in a little parish of the city no-one wants to take it on. I would hate to lose another shop in my highstreet especially this local newsagents as it sells everything so i thought id buy it and run it to keep up the community spirit as everyone uses it who lice closely and a few passer bys. its a local meeting point where people meet and interact whilst buying their paper and small grocerys and its such a nice experience being served by people who you know rather than someone different everytime like in supermarkets and that especially resinates With the elderly community that live here. ive worked in newsagents before and know how they work/run and know the local people also, the only problem being when i thought of this grear plan to save the local newsagents is i cant get funding As i couldnt get a loan from the banks as they arent interested in small newsagents And thats where i need some help. All i want to do is to keep it open for the locals and not really for profit - as long as it payd its own way which it does now according to the owner thats the main thing, as im not in it for the money i want it to keep the conmunity spirit alive and not to have yet another boarded up shop on my small high street. We tried to save the butcher when tesco opened and that failed as they kept undercutting his pricing and now it seems they want the news trade too! any help is very much apreciated and i thank you in advance
