Independents Day: Support Your Local Shops

Next Monday, strike a blow for individuality by buying at least one thing from a local, independent shop. In and around King's Hedges we have a lot to choose from with both Milton Road including a flower shop, hairdressers, and motor accessories and in Arbury Court there is a wide range of shops including a Chinese Takeaway, Bike Repairs, and a butchers.

Cambridge City Council and Love Cambridge, the City Centre partnership, are backing a campaign to help the High Street by Skillsmart Retail and the National Skills Academy for Retail. They have got together with independent retailers and trade associations to encourage people to celebrate diversity on the High Street and support their local, independent retailers on 4th July.

Retailers can download the ‘Your high street needs you!’ poster online, ‘like’ the campaign on Facebook and follow it on twitter, and download a campaign toolkit at: www.skillsmartretail.com/IndependentsDay.

To keep up with the campaign, follow it twitter @Retail_IndieDay or via facebook.com/independentsday.
