This morning I went to visit Burslem and popped into local businesses and shops along the High Street.
It is great to see us slowly open up, with more to follow on the 4th July.
Many local business owners said they were happy with the support they have had from the government and Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
It’s important we now back our local traders, who sacrificed so much to keep us safe and not overwhelm the NHS.
Make sure you go out, stay local and more crucially, buy local!
