Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - paulSquare (29th Jun 2025  18:31:48) Hi, We seem to have more retail facilities in the Square, and Headley road of Liphook. Station road it is poor, for any Convenience store, or Cashpoint facility. Many people live "the other side" of our village, but have little useful shops. Could this change?

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - Joe (30th Jun 2025  12:24:33) I agree for once with D any shop could go amywhere it depends whether someone thinks they will make money there and whether they can afford the lease. With so many forklift truck removals of outdoor cashpoints it is unlikely that a business would include that facility maybe one indoors during trading hours.

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - D (30th Jun 2025  15:26:58) I agree with Suse, Sainsbury's is only a short distance away and parking isn't a problem. A convenience store on station road would only impede the flow of traffic. M & S in Liphook? Haslemere or Petersfield maybe but a bit posh for Liphook, wot wot.

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - Joe (30th Jun 2025  15:36:28) I know it is not Liphook but M and S are planning to build their largest food hall yet in England in Godalming on the site of the former Homebase. It will not open until next spring.

They could easily then put just a small one in Liphook because it'll be in their delivery area. All those new houses being built with posh cars will need to shop somewhere, not just Sainsbury's, unless of course too posh to shop.

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - D (30th Jun 2025  19:13:29) There you go, M&S went to a posh place. Wot wot.

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - Suse (1st Jul 2025  12:44:07) Well there's a little Waitrose on the A3 so stranger things can happen We're well placed for a small M&S on their delivery route so perhaps not too long.....

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - Joe (1st Jul 2025  13:30:19) Suse M &S and Waitrose both tend to have the smaller shops now within petrol garages where there is good access to park their huge articulated lorries. Hence the M and S in the petrol garage at Hindhead. There would not be room for their delivery vehicles untess the store was where little fish operate from.

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - Aren't we all villagers? (1st Jul 2025  15:12:50) At the current rate of change that's already happening in Liphook, we'll have a Lycamobile before we get a M&S.

Re: Can we have a Convenience Store and a Cashpoint on Station Road? - Suse (1st Jul 2025  15:21:14) @Joe I haven't just come down in the last shower of rain....... you're crowing to the erudite...
