Businesses who have had a positive impact on their local high street are being recognised in the run-up to Small Business Saturday on 3 December.
Up to 30 High Street Heroes have been rewarded across towns in the borough including Dawley, Newport, Madeley, Ironbridge, Oakengates and Wellington.
Small Business Saturday takes place on the first Saturday in December and aims to drive home the importance of shopping local all year round.
Consumers who have shopped locally this year are encouraged to continue backing their local high street in the run-up to Christmas and beyond.
‘High Street Heroes’ encourage Telford and Newport residents and businesses to vote for the shop in their local high street which deserves most recognition.
Winners range from toy shops and convenience stores, to cafes, gift shops and pubs and restaurants across the borough.
The council’s Pride in Our High Street programme continues to support local businesses and retailers and since the initiative was launched across Telford and Wrekin in 2019, it has awarded businesses over £482,000 in start-up grants.
Councillors presented each business with a trophy and certificate to recognise their hard work and the difference they are making in their local high streets, together with the support they have each given to their local communities.
Our Newport Heroes Are: Sluice Juice! Newport Engravers! Wok ‘n’ Roll! Halo’s Beautique and Newport Enterprise Centre. Congratulations to all!
