Woodgreen community shop

total project costs £38,192
SDF Grant £25,000 (65% of total)

The Woodgreen Community Shop Association aims to save the last remaining village shop and Post Office in this cluster of villages (Woodgreen, Breamore and Godshill) and to retain this vital amenity for the villages in the long term. As the current non-renewable lease expires in December 2011 the aim is to provide a new purpose built community building to house the shop and post office that address aspects of sustainability.

The Community Shop Association have been awarded an SDF grant towards the cost of including energy saving measures in the construction of the building and installing an air-source heat pump and heat recovery ventilation unit to utilise the warm air generated by appliances and increase efficiency in temperature control.
