The Ashbourne Partnership has recently run a successful campaign to support local retailers. High Street Heroes was a campaign that asked shoppers to vote for their favourite retailer. Shoppers in the town, locals and tourists alike, singled out 138 businesses and cast about 1000 votes. The winning retailers were Best Wishes in Dig Street and Nigel's Butchers.
I contacted Sarah at The Ashbourne Partnership to see how thebestof Ashbourne could support any future campaigns like this. After all, as Sarah and I agreed in our meeting, we both have the same objective of offering support to local businesses and presenting the town positively as a place to shop and do business.
Further meetings are planned so I look forward to collaboration in the future.
