    On Saturday morning about 50 people attended a briefing by those responsible for the proposed redevelopment of the Beacon Cove Food Store.  A number of issues were raised and we welcome that they are consulting with, and seemingly listening to, the local community.  They have indicated that information about the redevelopment will soon be available on the web for those who were not able to attend the meeting.
