She said: “I feel that we’ve got a really good selection of independent shops in the town.

“In this day of modern technology everyone’s tempted to buy online, but it’s nice to come into a shop with a good atmosphere.

“It’s the friendliness aspect of it - the shop’s owners will have a chat with you and make you feel welcome. You don’t get that online.

“If we don’t use them we will lose them, and buying from local shops certainly gives a big boost to the local economy.”
