Today, Mayor Stephen Remington and Deputy Mayor Jamie Pearn officially re-opened the Co-op store in East Looe following its much anticipated refurbishment. They were joined by store manager Andrew Doherty to mark the occasion.
Mayor Stephen Remington congratulated the team and acknowledged their hard work and resilience throughout the renovation process:
“It’s a pleasure to be here today to celebrate the re-opening of our much-loved Co-op store. First and foremost, congratulations on the completion of this refurbishment! I know the process presented its challenges at times, but the outcome is a real credit to everyone involved.”
He went on to praise the Co-op team for their continued support of the local community:
“I speak for many when I say how thrilled we are to see this store back and better than ever. The Co-op contributes so much to the town, consistently demonstrating its commitment to Looe through generous community support. Their contributions have had a lasting impact: from sustaining Boundless Trust’s essential community meals, helping fund the town’s defibrillators, to supporting the RNLI, Ellie’s Haven, Polperro Football Club, Looe Development Trust, Sea Scouts, and the New Year’s Eve fireworks.”
A huge thankyou to everyone involved in the refurbishment & to the Co-op team who make both stores so welcoming & efficient. We wish you every success!
Looe Town Council is inviting all residents to take part in a new community survey designed to gather local views on a range of important issues – and help shape the future of the town.
The survey, which is open now and will run throughout the autumn, covers topics such as crime and anti-social behaviour in the town, how residents would like to communicate with the Council, public toilets and priorities for Council action. It’s part of the Council’s commitment to ensuring local voices are heard and considered in decision-making.
Cllr Stephen Remington, Mayor of Looe, said: “This is your chance to tell us what matters most to you. Whether it’s the services we manage now or ideas for the future, we want to hear directly from the people who live and work here. Every response helps us plan better and advocate more strongly for our community.”
Residents can complete the survey online via the link here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Y5MXQ63 or collect a paper copy from Looe Library.
The survey takes just a few minutes to complete but will help guide decisions for years to come. The results of the survey will be collected, and the outcomes will be shared with the community as soon as possible.
Healthwatch Cornwall run monthly listening hubs in communities across Cornwall. These hubs are designed to reach people who live in rural or undeserved areas, so we can collect their views and experiences of health and social care services from GP practices, hospitals, pharmacies and care homes in the area. They use the feedback received to provide vital insights and recommendations to NHS and social care leaders and decision makers, shaping better services for all.
There a few listening hubs coming up in Looe starting next week on Thursday 9th October, drop-in anytime 9am-12noon:
