CTX0956 © ctxuk 20241206 Mariners Arms COOP fer Chooks Defibrillator Unit Location
Positioning of Defibrillator at new COOP in Berkeley, Gloucestershire.
The historic town of Berkeley, nestled withing the Severn Vale of Gloucestershire welcomes its new much needed larger sized supermarket or convenience store. It has had a Co-Operative Store for a long time, previously situated on the Hight Street next to the Berkeley Arms car park entrance before moving to the Salter Street store prior to the new larger store opening this week. It’s new location is the former Mariners Arms Public House which had lain empty since 2015, on the corner of Lynch Road and Stock Lane butting up to Salter Street itself, so not a million miles away from it’s former premises.
Hopefully it will be of benefit to the community in general but even more so those without their own transport such as perhaps young mothers with children, single parent families. With a real lack or public transport locally it is perhaps a much needed community necessity with it’s increased size meaning they can offer a wider range of items. Whilst Berkeley did have two smaller convenience stores already, the other being a Tesco One Stop that was situated just feet from the previous Co-Op premises which contains a Post Office counter inside and both stores offering key meter top ups for electric etc.
It is good to see also that the new Co-Op has externally at the rear corner near the parking a Defibrillator which is accessible without requiring to enter the store. A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest. So another asset there for the community.
Here’s hoping the new store doesn’t give over that increased space to Alcoholic beverages alone, if you walk the lanes and roads out of the town you will see them littered with so many cans and bottles seemingly thrown or discarded from vehicles. Those items are a danger to children and animals especially, think farmers livestock, your dogs and maybe your offspring, glass with cuts or worse, cans with ring pulls and sharp edges to choke an animal.
Anyhow, here’s to a new opening going well, and the Town thriving again.
And finally ….
Up north, they say “Hen” which are also Chooks, “Ducks”, “Pet”, terms of endearment and colloquialism – So how apt the Chooks get a new COOP to cluck in, we know how much you ladies enjoy a natter whilst shopping.
