Dean Holborn

@ACS_LocalShops Good to see @ClaireCoutinho last week and discuss issues facing convenience stores on the back of the budget..

🎄 Holborn’s has brought the magic of Xmas to the Centre today with locally made wreaths, festive goodies & the BEST Christmas trees. Rumour has it that Santa’s elves deliver them to Holborn’s directly from the North Pole🤫 Join them in the Centre today til 5.30pm. @DeanHolborn

This Sunday we celebrate 50 years of Holborn’s! Come along and join us for a glass of bubbles along with tastings from Chalk Hills Bakery, Robert and Edwards Butchers Reigate, BrewDog, A.F.Blakemore and face painting by Jade Face Painting. The fun starts at 10am🥂

Like a lot of businesses we lost our card facilities in the IT crash yesterday. But with use of these terminals from ⁦@Square⁩ we completed over 200 sales along with countless ‘I owe yous’ first thing! ⁦@ACS_LocalShops⁩ proving their value in local communities again!

Looking forward to @acs parliament reception celebrating local shops. A bit wet but always a great day! #mylocalshop

Works completed on Mid Street South Nutfield last Friday. Yet @SESWater choose not to reinstate the road?? Coopers hill closed by them causing absolute chaos for residents & school buses!! Call 017372000 option5 option2 to complain! @ACS_LocalShops #southnutfield #holborns

Great to be attending @ACS_LocalShops Heart of the community today. Returning the Raj Aggawai trophy to be presented to another community champion. Great line of speakers including @ayeshahazarika @rushanaraali @Woodbines #Hoc23

Always a big day for ⁦@ACS_LocalShops⁩ as we launch our new Local Shop Report. I think 2023 is our best ever, thanks to the partners we work with for their support, and the retailers and colleagues who provide responses to our phone and online surveys

Post Offices, pharmacies and convenience stores have polled as the top three services that have a positive impact in their local community, according to the 2023 Community Barometer. More info here: acs.org.uk/news/post-offi…

🎪 TODAY 🎉 The rather marvellous Earlswood Carnival takes place today at Woodlands Road Green (2-5pm), organised by everybody's favourite eco warrior, @EarlswoodEco. #SupportLocal #Earlswood #Redhill

Dear @Jeremy_Hunt, essential community retailers will be put out of business if targeted support is not provided in the Budget on energy costs. Almost 7,000 stores are at risk.

❓ How much does it cost to support a #Redhill business? Spread a little digital love to our local business community. From our well-loved chains run by local people to our fabulous independent shops & organisations - they all need our support. #RH1 #RedhillBusinessGuild

To be clear, we DON’T usually forecast store closures. Local shops are resilient, we adapt … but for the businesses facing x5 increase to energy bills there just isn’t a way to navigate 2023-4 financial year. Targeted short-term help for these businesses needed in budget

Findings from our 2023 Rural Shop Report, launched today, reveal the valuable contribution that these unique businesses make to their communities and to the economy. The full report is available here bit.ly/RSR2023 #RuralShopReport

Today we're launching our 2023 Rural Shop Report which highlights the crucial contribution that rural shops make to their communities and we're calling on the Government to provide these unique businesses with the support that they need acs.org.uk/news/rural-sho…

It’s that time of year again!! I’ll be down to order ours soon! #shoplocal
