IT has been lovely to see our small shops in Boroughbridge back in business.

They have clearly put a lot of thought, time, energy and love into making their shop windows look festive and tempting for shoppers. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for serving their local communities (including all outlying villages and hamlets) brilliantly all the year round but, in particular, during the past nine months where nothing has been too much trouble.

Through their ability to adapt quickly to changes, shops providing food and local produce have delivered to homes or taken orders for collection. Many non-essential retailers have offered goods for order and doorstep collection through social media or by phone.

Our GP surgery, post office, hardware shop, electrical suppliers, garage services, estate agents and hairdressers have all stepped up.

I am sure we all want to thank them for their really hard work and commitment and the best thing we can all do now is to shop locally in the run up to Christmas and continue to support them regularly. It’s surprising what you can find on your own little High Street, not to mention the exceptional customer service and friendliness they offer, all free of charge. Thank you Boroughbridge.
