Q: How can I support local businesses during lockdown?
A: When you need to go out for essentials, use locally-owned shops nearby instead of visiting large retailers.
Many local businesses are now offering online or click and collect services that are easy and safe to use. Purchasing products locally online, instead of using a large national retailer, could be the difference between an independent business surviving, instead of closing.
Q: What local shops can I buy from online?
A: Several shops in the town centre, Old Town and at the indoor market, such as Portside Soap Company, Natalie’s Home Fragrances and others, offer an online delivery service. Use this to buy your loved one a beautiful, unique gift for valentine’s day or their birthday.
