Support Local Businesses - Please Shop Local this Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and our BID town centre businesses are grateful for the loyal support of local shoppers, not just in the run up to the festive season, but throughout the year! Thank you one and all!

So, whatever you do, before going further afield for Christmas gifts and stocking fillers, please check out our online directory of local businesses for some inspiration. Choose from Shops & Boutiques, Health & Beauty, Food, Drink and Entertainment or Service Businesses. If you can be prone to procrastination, then just remember, a gift voucher for a local business is the perfect choice!

Support for Victims of Loan Sharks

Do you know someone who has been targeted?

Do you know anyone who is the victim of a loan shark?

To protect ourselves and our loved ones in these challenging times, we should all be aware of the threats and how we can protect ourselves.

Sadly, 1.04 million people are victims of illegal loans. The Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) was set up in England in 2004 and they investigate these crimes and support those who have borrowed cash from loan sharks.

If you need support or would just like to find out more, please call 0300 555 2222 visit the Stop Loan Sharks (IMLT) website via the link below.
