IS there a shop near you that goes the extra mile? An independent stockist that you direct all of your friends to? 

Now is the time to recognise and celebrate these outlets, by nominating them for our new 'trader of the week'-style feature!

Whether it's the customer service, atmosphere, location or products on offer, we want you to tell us about your favourite traders and businesses in the area, and what makes them so great.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been tough for retailers and traders, with several lockdown closures and strict measures in place, and we want to use this feature to highlight why these businesses are so important and loved by residents.

When we have enough answers we will launch a weekly feature highlighting each venue - detailing what makes them a favourite in the area.
