A community-run shop in a Shropshire market town has had to extend its fundraising target as extended gas works have led to its revenue falling by a third.
The gas works in Bridgnorth have been extended until May 26
To monitor the progress of its fundraising, the pair of volunteers decided to create a “squirrel-o-meter” in the shop window featuring a red squirrel made by local artists Karen Chambers and Deb Parker. The works were set to be completed on May 2, but Cadent Gas received permission from Shropshire Council to extend the works until May 26 - three weeks later than planned.
The said the shop is accepting donations and customers and local people are invited to buy between £10 and £1,000 of community shares.
