Save Our Shops campaign launched in Harborough
Market Harborough needs your help.
For the first time in many years the spectre of closed and boarded up shops has appeared in the town.
As the credit crunch bites across Britain, the plight of high street giants Marks & Spencer and Woolworths has sent an air of anxiety sweeping through our homes and businesses.
Until recently we have complacently thought of Market Harborough as a quietly prosperous town, somehow immune from the worst ravages of recession elsewhere.
But now our enviable mix of independent little shops, long-established family firms and top brand national chains is under threat.
And the best way for us all to preserve that mix – the very essence that makes Harborough so special – is to do as much of our shopping in the town as possible.
That is why the Harborough Mail has launched the Save Our Shops campaign.
