| July 2005 - Hyde Heath Village Shop was the
first business in the Chilterns area to be issued with one of the new style
premises licences for the sale of alcohol. Picture shows joint
licensees Chris Sargeant & Ruth Coulton with the new licence.
Chiltern District Council report that only about 25% of businesses have yet
applied for their new type licences although the closing date for
applications is fast approaching - August 5th. Those who do not apply
by this deadline will be unable to sell alcohol from November 7th this year
and any late applications will be treated as completely new licences.

Our Picture Gallery records the story from
March 2001 when the old post office closed - click on the links below :
 The story of Hyde Heath's
New Village Shop began in January 2001 when Mr &
Mrs Munnoch announced the closure of the original village shop and Post Office
to be effective at the end of March that year.
Residents immediately began a campaign, first to try to prevent the closure,
but then to create a new shop run as a cooperative to open as soon as the old
premises closed. This was achieved by hiring a portacabin sited in front
of the village hall as a temporary measure whilst plans were developed for a
permanent site.
The eventual solution agreed was to extend the village hall creating a
purpose built shop and new cloakrooms etc ... that is now happening
!
These pages record the story in words and pictures .. the "Backgound"
moving the Portacabin in August 2002 and the new works.
