Wallingford Independents Day
IT was great to launch Wallingford Independents Day on Saturday.. Started by the intrepid Elaine Hornsby of First Edition, the day celebrates the fact that Wallingford is in the top ten per cent of towns in terms of the number of independent retailers. W e have one superstore, a Waitrose, but that at least is in the town centre. The Evening Standard campaigns quite rightly for small retailers, and days like the Independents Day, with 14 small shops showing their wares in the market square, are needed to keep them alive
