Celebrating the local legends that keep our high streets alive
Nominate. Vote. Celebrate.
The first ever Love Your High Street Awards are here – it’s time to shine a light on the independent retailers that make your local high street truly special.
From the family-run bakery that knows your order by heart to the hardware shop that stocks exactly what you need every time, the electrical appliance shop with the latest gadget from Instagram and cycling shop with the best window display in town – we want to hear about them!
Let’s Celebrate the Shops That Make Your Street Unique
