We’re collating a list of the Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth businesses which will be offering online, delivery or click and collect options this winter.

As part of our Shop Local coverage, we’ve already highlighted the importance of supporting our independent and small businesses in our local areas.

But, with a new lockdown fast approaching, we want to continue to offer our support to those businesses who will need it most in the coming months.

To submit your business for our list, which will be regularly updated, please email news@thecomet.net.
