A village shop in Denbighshire which campaigners are planning to develop into a community hub receives £200,000 from a Community Ownership Fund
Welsh Secretary David TC Davies has been to Llandyrnog in Denbighshire to hear about new plans to reopen the village shop, save the current Post Office and introduce a community hub after campaigners received UK Taxpayer funding.
There has been a shop in the village since 1841 and it has served the community in its current location since 1982 until it closed in 2020.
Local residents had raised funds towards buying back the premises and running it for the benefit of the whole village before the project was recently awarded £200,000 from a UK Community Ownership Fund.
Mr Davies went to the shop on Thursday (12 January) where he heard from some of the campaigners about their plans.
