The bestof are about to carry out valuable research as part of a massive national study – the largest of its kind - through which thebestof is surveying towns and cities the length and breadth of the UK to identify how consumers use their local high streets.  The research will examine how local stores and retailers are faring, what is good about our local high streets, what the problems are and what needs to be done to make them more successful.  The findings will be drawn up into a national report, to support thebestof’s Buy Local campaign, which aims to get more people supporting independent shops and stores.

 

Most people instinctively want to shop locally but when push comes to shove many of us still head off to Fosse Park, Leicester or Ricoh Arena for our shopping.  Why is this?  What’s missing or lacking about our Hinckley and Bosworth high streets? If we don’t have these answers how can we possibly tell the planners, local authorities or our politicians what we need them to do?  That’s why I urge everyone in our Hinckley and Bosworth area to take part in the BUY LOCAL survey and tell us exactly what they think.

 

Visit the survey NOW, it will only take you a few minutes to complete, and have your say!
