These are just some of the questions that have been raised over the last few months since we\u2019ve been thinking about a Community Shop for Tiree.<\/p>\n
At the Community Open\u2008Day in June 2013, 90% of those who cast their vote said yes to the study of a community shop for the island and since then the Steering Group supported by the Trust have been very busy researching information to present to the community.<\/p>\n
There will be a Community Shop Voting Day on Saturday 29 March<\/b>. This will be an important opportunity to find out more about the feasibility study, ask questions, give your opinion, and to cast your all-important vote<\/b>:\u2013<\/p>\n
\u2018Do you want a Community Shop on Tiree: <\/b>Yes or No?\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n
To help us all to consider whether or not a community shop would be of benefit to the island, and whether or not we would like to see one established here on Tiree, the steering group will be sending out a booklet to every household on Tiree. This is being done to provide information for you to make an informed vote and you will receive the booklet mid-March<\/p>\n
