Our local shops and businesses need our support. They are the heart of our communities, without them think what your part of the Borough would be like. Whether you live in Mill Hill, Edgware, Barnet, Hendon, Golders Green, Finchley, Burnt Oak, wherever, having a local high street that's busy and buzzing makes such a difference.
And those businesses are having a tough old time dealing, as we all are, with tightened belts, higher costs, parking problems, rising business rates and much much more.
Mary Portas has been asked by the Government to conduct a review into the state of the high street throughout the country and will report back in the Autumn and you can add your views too.
What else can you do?
How about joining our Buy Local Campaign. Here at thebestof we work actively with the best local independent businesses throughout the country to help them grow and thrive. Our Buy Local Campaign is one of the hubs of what we do and you can support us by joining our campaign. We want to make sure our local businesses know that we support them and want them to flourish. This is our way of saying thank you for doing such a great job.
All you have to do is click on the Buy Local badge at the top right of the screen to leave a recommendation for a great local business that you think deserves to be recognised and we’ll help put them on the map. And if your friends, family and workmates want to do the same - better still.
Anything else? Next time time you need something from the shops, head for your high street.
