Use it or lose it!

None of us like to walk past rows of empty shops, but recently we visited a Cambridgeshire town with so many and I was so shocked. Our little seaside town has been doing well – as shops have become empty they have filled quickly. Even the old Marks & Spencer building now has a new tenant… it might not be everyone’s choice but certainly better than staying empty any longer. Such a big building isn’t easy to fill. Sadly though, one of our tiny independent shops closes today because of falling trade. It’s so easy to sit at the computer or scroll on the phone and CLICK – it’s done! Streams of Amazon vans leave their depot every day delivering anything and everything. If we choose not to go out and shop locally we stand to lose even more shops so please go into town, support the beleaguered shopkeepers, because if you don’t we’ll lose them all.
