Wine mis-priced and arranged by some one who doesn't understand geography and varities. For lovers of animal cruelty there's abominable chicken for small change, fish and red meats hugely underwhelming, lack of organic foods in general, staff looking forward to proper sleep.


Was a mistake to enter, never again. Farmers' markets and proper high street shops make me happy.

Viable for such a large retail space. Viable for the whole community. Viable as a footfall attraction. A option for the whole community as opposed to the Waitrose brigade. Something that offers bargains. You can?t get bargain buys around ED anymore.

The co-op has had more refits than a shop window manikin. Nothing changes. The service remains shoddy, the staff remain disinterested, the stock remains out of date, and the prices remain stupidly high.


I think it?s about time a alternative was given a chance. Perhaps even a Lidl or Aldi if home bargains doesn?t float your boat?

I think the CoOp on LL has got better. The staff are friendly and will go and check for items without making you think you'd asked for their firstborn, and the shop itself is rarely crowded. There are bargains to be had and the CoOp gives to local charities and gives back to you if you sign up for its loyalty card. I don't want and do not expect a red carpet when I go to buy my teabags. M and S is crowded nearly always because it is a small premises after all, and the management have crammed in many items in too many aisles. Staff are on the whole helpful, even if some don't wear their masks properly or at all (which I mentioned to a member of staff who was supervising).

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
