23 Supporting Village Shops and Post Offices Support local shops A significant part of rural life in Devon, the traditional village shop and Post Office is of huge importance to the communities they serve. Staying open for long hours every day, all week long, the village shop not only provides the essentials but is also the social hub of the community. Providing the opportunity for villagers to keep up to date with the local news, advertise services, access their pensions, and promote events, the local shop can also play a key role in fundraising for the village school, church or local organisation. As the village shop and Post Office are heavily reliant on the thousands of visitors to the region in the tourist season, you will help them to provide an invaluable service during the winter months to the locals who are here all year round. So whilst on holiday in Devon, please do whatever you can to utilise the rural post offices and village shops that you come across during your stay, and remember that every pound you spend, and every service you utilise, contributes towards employment and assists the local economy.
