Bit of an odd place to set up a corner shop, pretty much right next to the Co-op, and a Premier halfway down Broad Street too, not to mention the petrol stations over the bridge on Bradfield Road. That being said, some of the product ranges in the Co-op are a bit limited, and Go Local Extra stores often have a much better world foods section, particularly with Indian snacks. I am hoping this new store will be able to compete on product ranges, else I don't expect it to last.

I think I will be staying with the co-op there prices are fine and the quality of food is excellent,
The staff are always polite and friendly.
Where will the people who visit the new go local convenience store going to park.
I'm pretty sure that this will force the co-op - chatwins -and the chippy to ask the landlord who owns the property's to put up cameras and enforce parking restrictions.
Also there's a price to pay at these so called convenience stores.
