The portal allows people to support the High Street from their homes at no extra cost.

People can browse, book, buy and collect from independent shops in their area with one checkout.

Mr Eggleston said: “Increasingly businesses are operating with, what is called, a ‘multi-channel offering’ and by having a presence on ShopAppy.com they have a way to keep their name in the local public eye, which will help to showcase the many very good businesses we have in Burgess Hill.”

Mid Sussex District Council is subsidising independent businesses across Mid Sussex to sign up to ShopAppy.com for free until March 2023.

Once registered, businesses can quickly populate their own mini site with goods and services at no cost.

Burgess Hill and its surrounding areas are the first to launch, with further launches planned in East Grinstead and Haywards Heath this summer.
