Despite not having a local shop since 1876, the local primary school now has a Siop Sied open to the public. A shop inside a shed at the side of the school that trusts the members of the public to go into it and buy things without anyone actually managing the shop, people only supply it with things like eggs, fruit, vegetables etc.
