Hurst Green pp 56-58
Local facilities and services: It needs to be noted that Hurst Green has seen a significant decline in services and community groups over the last few years. The latest has been the closure of the newsagents and post office as the owner retired. It should be noted that the Parish Council are progressing the establishment of a community shop and post office based on their consultation with residents through their Local Action Plan. The redundant Catholic Church site has been identified and work is progressing in terms of agreement with the landowner. There appears to be strong local support for this project.

Support for this should be evident in the LDF.
