If you are a Hertford resident or live in the surrounding area, you’ll soon start to notice a new campaign being launched by Hertford Town Council.

The ‘Love Hertford Local’ shopping campaign will be promoting all types of local businesses, providing ongoing support as the town begins to re-open its doors for business.

Hertford has a diverse and unique selection of attractive shops and businesses offering everything you could possibly need – for your home, garden, hobbies, interests, entertainment and family – why shop anywhere else?

Chairman of the Town Council’s Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said:

“It goes without saying that the last few months have been extremely worrying for our local businesses. Many have had to stop trading for a period of time, or innovate and completely change the way that they operate.

A lot of work is going into ensuring our town centre can re-open safely, to provide a comfortable shopping environment that people can feel confident to be in. Businesses are also putting new health and safety measures in place to provide a safe shopping experience for customers.

We’re asking that when you need to shop, please shop local – Hertford shops need your support.”

If you live local – shop local. Got a social distancing BBQ to look forward to? Why not treat yourself to a new outfit from one of the many boutiques – where there will be lots of special treats waiting for you this summer. Missing eating out? Why not try a new dining experience and order from one of the many eateries the county town has to offer? Found some old pictures or prints during your time at home? Why not choose a new photo frame from one of the antiques shops or homeware stores in town?
