A BRAMPTON eco store has thanked customers after hitting a landmark in its £4,000 campaign to buy electronic scales. Maria Stundon, who runs Ria-Plenish Eco & Refill Shop, has reached the half way mark in her campaign to buy state-of-the-art equipment to make shopping easier and quicker. She launched the Crowdfunder campaign last month and has now hit the halfway mark raising £2,145. The campaign has until May 17 to raise the full amount or the money will be returned. Maria said: “It’s been overwhelming because it has been such a big ask, let alone with it being in the middle of a pandemic, with lots of people backing the campaign.

BUSINESSES throughout Cumbria have come back to life following the first week of the relaxed coronavirus restrictions. From Monday, hairdressers, nail bars, gyms, pubs and cafes with outdoor dining, and a host of other shops have been able to open for the first time this year. And shoppers have come back to high streets in droves. One of the businesses that reopened this week was The Baby Bit at Carlisle’s Market Hall, which originally started trading last August. The children’s clothing and accessories outlet is run by Rachael Gillgrass and has opened just ahead of an expected spring and summer busy period.
