Comment: | CoSPA offers the residents of Coaley, Gloucestershire a convenient source of their everyday grocery needs, plus an Internet cafe and library all controlled by villagers and operating for the good of all.
The CoSPA shop is open seven days a week, manned by volunteers, with prices at supermarket levels. There are many local products - meat, vegetables, jams and honey, cheese and hand-made cards.
The website offers another experimental aspect to the CoSPA service. Villagers can pre-order goods online and collect them later - eg on the way back from work . |
