Pulborough traders pulling together amid lockdown is ‘very encouraging’

Elizabeth Hunt, of the Pulborough Traders Association, told the County Times firms in the village have been offering special offers and takeaways in a bid to cope with forced closures under new lockdown rules.

She said: “It’s very encouraging. We see how people are working together – to keep going and support each other.

We’re all sharing each other’s posts. It’s just been really, really supportive.”

Business owner Elizabeth said the community should feel very proud of their response to the latest restrictions.

The 63-year-old added: “Most of the traders are more prepared this time. Everybody seems to have fallen into a pretty good pattern. We have a number of restaurants that are opening up for takeaways. It just feels like people are generally more prepared and ready to keep going as best they can. It’s really good.”

Lockdown updates from Pulborough traders will be posted on the Pulborough Traders website along with the latest special offers. For more infoormation see www.pulboroughtraders.co.uk
