A Chippenham shop keeper's brainwave to set up a school uniform swap shop has proved so successful she has extended the opening hours.

Cinna Minney has two children, Ellwod, 8, and Inara, 6, at Ivy Lane School.

"As a parent, I have not been able to get uniform at school fayres this year due to lockdown," she said.

"Lots of parents bought clothes that kids have already grown out of that have been unworn so I have set up a swap shop at the back of my shop at Cousin Norman's on New Road.

"Parents can come in and swap for the sizes they need. If they haven't got anything to swap, then they can come and take stuff anyway, and we ask they make a small donation for local schools of what they can afford."

She says it has been incredibly popular, and now has everything from PE kits to grey dresses and white shirts as well as branded clothing from Ivy Lane and Monkton Park.

"I've decided to keep it going for another few weeks," she said. "And we'll see how it goes beyond that."
