Shoppers across the UK have been urged to do their bit and take part in Shop Local Week (10-16 August) to help local businesses rebuild from the coronavirus pandemic.

Shop Local Week is part of the government's Enjoy Summer Safely campaign, encouraging people to get back to the way of life they have missed, while following safety guidelines.

From popping into a local family-run bakery for a loaf of bread, or buying a quirky gift from an independent shop, by shopping locally people can help local business owners and local communities get back up and running.

Here in Teddington we are particularly keen for people to get back out there and head back to the high street.

We are blessed in Teddington with a huge number of local shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes and we have to make the most of them.
