WHERE WE CHOOSE
We choose where we shop and we choose how we shop,
I like to think of myself as conscientious shopper; it’s a good thing, because I get the groceries I want and it makes me feel good knowing I’ve supported a local business. Like most people I get a supermarket delivery, but only for the things I can’t buy locally.
All my Fruit, veg, meat, flowers & plants, artisan bread, Cakes and cheeses, are bought locally. When I shop at a supermarket, I tend to look at what’s Yorkshire or closer to home, so for everyday bread I buy Jacksons (Yorkshire) bread, Yorkshire Tea, Taylors of Harrogate Coffee (as well as Cielo of Course)
Down to choice – this week I have learnt some very sad news about one of our long standing businesses, this information I will share with you very soon, but suffice to say, it was a very teary day in a lovely shop yesterday – USE THEM OR LOOSE THEM
NO MIG this week, back next week…. busy times with little people
Planning
Redrow Homes have an amended planning application in, you can see on the public access page
Create button https://publicaccess.leeds.gov.uk/online-applications/
And you can make your comments up until the 25th July – from what I can see the changes to plans have been the additional homes from 238 to 241 – I mean 3 extra homes could be another million pounds! Will it mean profits from these extra homes could be for the provisions needed for roads and schools!!!
30 Main Street – New shop front for Cooplands Bakers – we will have a nice looking parade
I hear there is a timber company moving into the old Strikes Garden centre – not sure if this is just hoping to be a warehouse or somewhere public will be able to buy timber yet? #waitandsee
Until next week………………
Hold your loved ones closer, every day – RIP Liz Shaw
