Every resident in Cirencester will receive a special discount card over the bank holiday weekend. The My Cirencester card, which has been designed to encourage shoppers back to the town now that non-essential retail has reopened, goes live on June 1. More than 60 businesses have now signed up, with a special offer or discount set to be available to anyone who presents their My Cirencester card. The scheme has been set up by Cirencester Chamber of Commerce. Vice-president David Fowles, one of the team who came up with idea, said: “What fantastic support for our idea to get customers back into the town.
A NEW initiative is launching in Cirencester to encourage people to support businesses and revitalise the capital of the Cotswolds. From Monday, April 12, non-essential shops, hairdressers, nail salons, libraries and outdoor hospitality venues such as beer gardens will be allowed to reopen, as lockdown restrictions continue to ease. As the new panels on the House of Fraser building illustrate, Cirencester has lots of ‘independent shops, individual food, incredible history and inspirational events’ all of which need support when they re-open. To boost trade, Cirencester Chamber of Commerce is launching the My Cirencester card with the support of Cirencester Town Council and Cotswold District Council.
