#AmazingAccrington

Welcome to the festive edition of #AmazingAccrington! This special edition has been specially created to give a boost to our high streets and encourage you to shop local. The quality and variety of things available to buy in Hyndburn is remarkable, and shopping local really helps secure our future. At the time of going to print, lockdown restrictions will be lifted on 2nd December, and many of our local retailers have remained open under the rules. Let’s get out and safely shop, to give us a well needed boost for Christmas! This magazine is being delivered to every household in Hyndburn by your friendly local postman, and will be available to pick up from the Market and civic buildings. #AmazingAccrington is an initiative started by myself, a partnership of business leaders from across the borough in collaboration with the Council and our local MP. We are here to help good businesses to change the aspirations of future generations in Hyndburn, to ensure financial security and a better place to live, work and play. If all of our 80,000 residents in Hyndburn just spent an extra £5 weekly in local shops, that would be an extra £400,000 a week directly kept within the borough, leading to £2,000,000 spent locally as research shows local businesses generally source and supply locally too. Let’s use this time to really boost Hyndburn. Seasons Greetings, stay safe and lets hope 2021 is #Amazing for us all.

Townfield Care is a family owned company which is committed to achieving the highest standards of care. The company operates three residential care homes, two home care services and a mobility shop. We have been an active part of the community for over 35 years providing care throughout the local area.

IS IT OPEN?
