CORONA VIRUS VITAL LOCAL SHOPPING INFORMATION

UPDATED 14/04/2020

We are all exceptionally lucky to live in a beautiful area with a strong community spirit and plenty of local, independent retailers who are going above and beyond to service the community during these unprecedented and uncertain times (not to mention offering a calm alternative to the panic we are seeing in the national supermarkets).

I have compiled an (unfinished) list of local, independent retailers and services which may help members who are looking to restock supplies (and help keep our wonderful local businesses afloat).

I will happily add any retailer who is offering a vital service if you can PM me the details, and will update the list on a day by day basis in an attempt to keep the information current and relevant.

As an extra note, if you are visiting any of these outlets in person, for the safety of yourself and others please adhere to the government guidelines and individual shop rules regarding social distancing (such as limiting customers on premises, retaining queuing distances etc) and please be respectful to the staff who are doing their utmost to service the community with as little disruption to their services as possible.
