🧵If only all Fridays' could be filled with sunshine & visits to 6 #communityowned businesses!! Great day out visiting groups in Herefordshire & Worcestershire with our Head of #ComBiz @CSpendley. A thread... with a few selfies included! 1/10 
First stop was @PeopletonPantry where we met the shop manager, Jennie. Great to hear that as a @PlunkettFoundat member, Jennie was looking forward to completing their FREE #combiz health check with @AlisonMacklin2 in a few week's time! 2/10
Next up it was the amazing Yarpole Community Shop, which you'll find in Saint Leonard's Church. Such an inspiring example for any group looking to co-locate a #combiz in a place of worship... something @PlunkettFoundat can also offer FREE advice on thanks to @Benefacttrust. 3/10
Earlier on my #WalkForPlunkett I tweeted a pic of a former bus shelter converted into a library service. It made me look out for so many village assets no longer in use which once provided essential services, housed key workers, created employment & brought #communities together
I didn't come across any village services, businesses, or even people for over 10miles until I reached the amazing @westburyshop which was a busy and thriving #communityhub and testament to the resourcefulness of rural communities to take action themselves
The only new services or investment in the countryside I came across was the construction of HS2 - but of course this doesn't benefit the communities it cuts thru- only the urban centres at either end...
