Open!
It’s the first day of lock down but we are open are usual, serving the local community with bread, fruit & veg, local produce, baked goods and of course our @blueberry.den refill staton 🍞 🥕🧀💚.
To keep safe we ask everyone to wear masks at all times, stay 2m apart between households (following our one way system), use the hand sanitiser provided and if necessary, we will ask people to wait at the door, allowing a limited number of people in the barn at one time.
You are also able to order online (link to website here 👆🏻) and collect from us, however the offering will be slightly reduced to enable us to keep up with demand.
Our thoughts are very much with those that aren’t able to stay open during this time and wish everyone a healthy four weeks 💫 - Ironing & Laundry Service
I am working through lockdown and so If anyone has elderly or vulnerable friends or relatives in the area they are not able to help because of illness or lockdown measures with laundering please feel free to call me, dont let cost put you off as that wont be a problem for someone in genuine need.
- Downton Tyre and Autocare Ltd
Just a message for all our customers, we will be remaining open during the coming Lock Down and we will be offering our mobile van for home or work visits locally if required.
Thank you for all your continued support during 2020, we are so pleased to still be open and still be looking after you all.

The library has had to shut its doors, but staff would like to reassure borrowers that any books that they have out on loan will be automatically renewed, so there will be no fines to pay on books that should have been renewed whilst the library is closed.In the meantime, library users can access a vast array of on-line magazines, books and audio-books by using the RB Digital app, using their library card number and pin number to log on.
If you are not already a member, you can join online at https://libraries.wiltshire.gov.uk/web/arena/join-the-library
