After the original local shop in Crackington Haven closed, a small group of residents met to discuss what could or should be done.
Did Crackington Haven need a shop? If so, why, and how could one be created? What, if anything, could be done?
In December 2019, the committee circulated a survey to the village, which got a huge response. Of the 250 that were completed, more than 220 people said yes, they would like and support a shop.
The group agreed to work toward opening a not-for-profit community shop to serve St Gennys Parish, providing a community hub and a reliable place to buy groceries.
