  1. Well I never, a charity shop, the first in that row of shops. I’m sick and tired of all these empty shops turning into charity shops. All us Waterlooville residents are going to end up shopping else where that’s those that don’t already do so.

  6. We really don’t need more charity shops in Waterlooville , we should be looking at bringing people to the town not driving away the people of the town

  9. Hi Alice, The Rowans Hospice, which is a local charity, offer a pick-up service. They came and took a ton of kids toys ( shush, don’t tell my children ) in their van earlier in the week, telephone 023 9225 0001. Can’t say when this new one will be open, probably will be a few months time. And of course you should donate to whichever charity you feel is important to you – I can say Rowans were polite and prompt with their return phone calls and pick-up service.

  13. I think this is great.
    I was becoming a little disheartened by the lack of choice amongst the other charity shops.

  15. I’m sure it was the vision of all those soldiers that settled here 200 years ago to fill it with charity shops.
    We might as well put the road back through the precinct coz there’s nothing worth stopping for!

  19. Glad Julian Graves went under, a side project of the beastly Holland and Barrett who use some underhand tactics with the small companies whose products fill their shelves, such as not paying them, or paying them peanuts. Charity shop….better than an empty shop?

  21. Welcome to Waterlooville “The Charity Shop Town” Come and visit if it’s second hand goods you’re looking for this is the place for you. Beyond belief!!!!

  25. When any new store is built in Waterlooville, everyone moans that it’s taking business away from existing shops. It seems like residents of Waterlooville never seem to be happy, no matter what shops decide to come to town. No, we probably could do without another charity shop but it’s better than nothing.

    • Totally agree Darren, Waterlooville is almost derelict apart from the abundance of “Charity Shops” who charge the earth for their second hand goods

  29. We have had excellent small independent shops in waterlooville, but they can only succeed if people use them…..which they obviously eaten’ t doing…use it or lose it has never been truer. That particular unit has been empty for a long time. Better to have it buses. They are quite small units so their use is limited.

  31. Really another one and think when Costa carphone warehouse and subway move we can have 3 more how about a currys and a smyths toy shop that’s what we need

  32. It’s like this in Gosport, all cafes and charity shops. The council’s answer is better used than empty. The government apparently controls/sets business rates so why can’t they allow all those with a turnover of less than 100k have a greatly reduced or negligible rate with a sliding scale above this?

  36. Let’s have another charity shop! Not enough in Waterlooville!! What a classy new shop to add to the nicer row of shops in town! Not!!!!

  37. Let’s have another charity shop! Not enough in Waterlooville!! What a classy new shop to add to the nicer row of shops in town! Not!!!!

  42. you think that’s bad, there’s rumour that a costa coffee a subway and a carphone warehouse is going to be built in the car park by matalan, three shops that already exist in waterlooville! Unless the one’s in the precinct are going to be closed down and replaced with charity shops?

  43. Haven’t we got enough already?!! Now the big development plans on the old BAE site has been scrapped Waterlooville is now officially ‘the Charity Shop Town!’

  44. Re- Ben Shires remark, this is what ive been led to believe as well and closing the ones in the town centre.
    Why have the council also turned down the plans for the cinema etc on the BAE site, this town centre is going to be deserted soon , business rates are killing the traders.

  49. Mmmm I wonder why the Developers withdrew there plans. ……… Probably like the rest of us they can see Waterlooville is turning into a ghost town sorry is!!! its really sad what with all the Thousands of New house gone up, the new and surrounding family ect would of made good use of a cinema, but hey what do we know we only live here!!

  50. It can support three supermarkets though. I didn’t know they turned down the plans for the cinema though Stephen Jackson, that’s another blow for waterlooville. Looks like i’m not gunna regret my decision to move down town. Just feel sorry for my Family and friends still living up here, not much left for them :(

  52. Does anybody know if there is a sticker book for charity shops … ie you visit one and you get a sticker to put in the book … if there were to be such a thing you could probably fill the entire thing on one visit to Waterlooville.

  54. Without going in to too much detail, we (my wife and I) wanted to move in to this shop, bringing a new business to Waterlooville, but because we aren’t charity the rates were DOUBLE what this new charity shop is being charged……a real joke, and a shame.
