A village store which opened within 10 days of the first national lockdown is seeking to appoint a paid manager.
Created as a community venture, Brent Knoll Community Shop opened in April in response to the closure of the village shop and Post Office and the announcement of coronavirus lockdown in March.
Since then, the shop has been run by a small steering group and 20 volunteers and provides essential products and services to the village.
With plans to extend opening hours, currently 8.30am to noon every day of the week, and expand products, the shop is now seeking to recruit its first paid employee, a part-time manager.
