Shoppers across Breckland are being urged to shop local this Christmas by the local council.

Now the area is in Tier 2, non-essential shops, personal care businesses and gyms have now reopened.

Breckland Council says several brand new shops have opened on the high street and others are offering Covid safe customer experiences.

Cllr Sam Chapman-Allen, Leader of Breckland Council, commented: “The recent restrictions have brought challenges for everyone and the whole year has been a tough trading period for many of our local shops. As our high streets reopen for business, I urge people to show their support by choosing to shop local throughout December, while being mindful of social distancing and guidance to keep everybody safe.

“Our vibrant market towns are packed with independent retailers offering fantastic customer service, unique products at great prices and of course our council-run car parks remain free to use. I hope as many people as possible will choose to explore, discover and enjoy their local high streets this Christmas.”
