Over the last few months your local suppliers have supported you when you couldn't get toilet rolls and hand sanitiser. They were there when you needed fruit and veg boxes and Takeaway meals. They went out and about to deliver when you couldn't get a Supermarket delivery slot.... Now it's your turn to help them.

As the county begins down the road to recovery, it is now more important than ever to support local business as much as you can.

Whenever you can, support your local suppliers by buying local, eating local and supporting local. That's not to say that you should avoid the big chains that are keeping local people in jobs, but just be more community aware of local businesses too.

Even a 'like' on a local suppliers social media or sharing a post will help.

The lock-down and the floods at the start of 2020, has shown more than ever that we are fantastic community. Let's do what we can to continue to support each other.
