Locals have helped Northern after the firm received complaints about stations pronounced incorrectly.

The 53-year-old man died in the one-vehicle collision on the A77 near Kirkoswald.

The project saw a pavement blocked and motorists and pedestrians put at risk.

Dr Claire Corlett will work with a locum one day a week to serve the 2,300 patients on its books.

The venture now has 600 shareholders which will ensure the shop's future, delighted villagers say.

Residents need to raise a further £10k to prevent the only store in Kirkoswald from closing.
