Let’s not neglect the fact our country, counties and towns are dealing with some dark, uncertainty times at present... But from spending some time recently in and amongst Farnborough’s local high streets and indie businesses, I realised the importance of our community and locally run businesses, which at the moment are working harder than ever to get back on their feet again after such a tough time.

In the North Camp area, in particular, highlights for us would, of course, be, Wild Wild Western Wear with their stunning range of authentic western gear to fulfil your cowboy fantasies, Woods Butchers who are busy providing high-quality meats for those summer evenings! And of course, Madam Seamstress who delivers a personal and reliable service to her clients who are guaranteed to fall in love with their tailored garment.

I am proud to know there are many amazing business owners who love, care and respect the situation and responsibilities at this time. We will see light and clarity if we pull together and be proud of where we come from.
