With shopping options limited during lockdown, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has introduced ‘The Borough Basket’ to help people buy gifts for mothers before Mother’s Day. An online marketplace for local independent businesses, more than 40 traders from across the borough have already signed up. Unique Mother’s Day gifts for the special ladies in your life include honey-based cosmetic pamper packages from Bee Good that come as a beautifully wrapped eco-gift with a box of wildflower seed balls, unique silver designer jewellery from The Secret Garden or hand-painted tealight holders from Glass by Tina. Katie Riggs Designs offer quirky hand-made eco-friendly cards and for someone with a sweet tooth, there are personalised cupcakes from Slice of Fun Cakes.
The pandemic has been a very difficult time for businesses across the borough and we would like to thank all those businesses who have helped to prevent the spread of COVID-19 locally by following the latest guidance. As we look ahead to the road out of the latest lockdown, we are committed to continuing our support for businesses to help them adapt. This includes distributing emergency funding support, with over £60 million in grants and rate reliefs delivered since March 2020, and helping businesses with the latest government guidance. We will be working closely with our town centre partners, including Basingstoke Together BID, The Malls and Festival Place to ensure that when the town centre is able to reopen, shoppers can look forward to a safe and enjoyable experience.
