Just as it seems that town center has finally found its feet…..they rip it all up 🤷♂️
I’ll keep going…..hope my clients can too
❤️ Rawtenstall, we need you now more than ever ❤️
As a local business owner, the start of the works in Rawtenstall brings a real sense of worry. We’ve seen first-hand the impact that the works in Haslingden had on independent businesses, and we know how tough it can be to keep a small business going even without the added challenge of roadworks, disruption and people choosing to shop, eat and spend their money elsewhere.
Behind every independent business is a family, a team, a dream and years of hard work. We’re not just shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and services — we’re part of what makes our towns what they are.
Without our independent businesses, we lose the character, the community and the heart of our high streets. 💔
We understand that the works may make things a little less convenient at times, but please, wherever you can, STAY LOCAL AND SUPPORT LOCAL. ❤️
✨ Pop in for your coffee.
✨ Book that meal out.
✨ Shop with an independent.
✨ Recommend your favourite local businesses to friends.
✨ Like, share and engage with local businesses on social media.
✨ Buy a gift voucher for Christmas — it’s a brilliant way to support a local business while giving someone a lovely gift. 🎁
Every visit, every purchase and every bit of support really does make a difference, especially over the coming months.
There are so many brilliant independent businesses across Rawtenstall and the wider Rossendale Valley, and every single one deserves the chance to come through these works and still be here on the other side.
Let’s not wait until the works are finished to support our high street. We need you now, not just when the barriers come down.❤️
Please share this post, spread the word and help keep our towns thriving. Because a town is only as strong as the community that supports it. 🫶
