SO16_Saint Posted 23 February, 2011 Share Posted 23 February, 2011 Does anyone live on / off of Sandpiper Road, Lordswood? I do, and cant believe there's not a local shop in the area. There's one up by the Woodman, and obviously, Sainsburys - but both are a good 20 minute walk away. I think it would be a good idea to have a new shop, but dont have the first clue as to how to start one....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 23 February, 2011 Share Posted 23 February, 2011 Thanks for the idea. My shop will be opening in 3 weeks time. For the idea, I will pass on 10p for every £1000 I rake in. HIGH FIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 23 February, 2011 Share Posted 23 February, 2011 One stop from Sandpiper is less than a mile. Over the road you have the newly opened Premier and two doors down another fairly recently opened conveinent store. 7 mins walk max from Sandpiper Road. In the other direction about 1.5 miles tops (Less if you cut through the woods) you have Sainsburys and other shops. Your money might be better invested in a business degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your money might be better invested in a business degree all valid points - especially the business degree..... BUT 1-1.5 miles - each way - is a long way if you've got a kid in tow or are only looking for a paper / milk, or elderly, or dont have a car. You're more likely to jump in the car, and that's not good for the environment. on the original plans for the area, there was a site for local shops and a pub i believe, but the private owners put paid to that and opposed the idea. I think it is the only thing that is missing from the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why, its such a pleasant area that I cant believe they would get any problems from the local youths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt so much problems from local youths, it was really just about education. .....educating them that they really ought to pay for things from the shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Bridgeys on to something here. Once the sandpiper mall is up and running, why not add to the portfolio with a nice convenience store down the Coxford Road end of Warren Avenue?

That shop in warren avenue was always changing hands, just like the shop in aldermoor road. I think theyve made it a funeral parlour now, which is appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
