Support local
BUSINESSES around the Borders which continue to tackle the ongoing cost-of living crisis are looking for support from local shoppers.
Now, more than ever, it is essential to support local firms on your doorsteps.
After an especially cold winter, this spring offers a great opportunity to spend time out in the sun while also supporting your local high street.
The Borders has plenty to offer. Whether you’re looking for a new favourite book, fashionable accessories and clothing, or you want to sample some of the amazing food and drink made here in the region – local businesses can help.
Supporting local retailers, rather than turning to large online brands, means the money you spend is put back into the community, and keeps our towns and villages alive.
And to help you get around the region, Borders Buses are on hand to get you where you need to go.
Using public transport not only means you don’t have to worry about finding parking, it’s also an environmentally-friendly way to get around the Borders.
And under 22s can now travel for free on any service.
If you’re looking to do some spring cleaning or home improvements in time for summer, there are plenty of firms waiting to help you with any project.
Businesses in the Borders can offer a range of services, including: landscaping, tree removal, garden maintenance, decking or patio installation, painting, decorating, or even finding you a new fireplace.
Small businesses and independent retailers are the life and soul of our towns, making each community diverse, unique and interesting.
As a customer shopping locally, not only will you get what you need; but you will be supporting the area’s economy and getting great customer service.
Instead of using big national companies online or heading out of the region, why not see what local stores and retailers have to offer and support our campaign message of ‘Love Local Business’!
