Tamworth Business Chamber President Tim Coates has again called for people to support local businesses this Christmas.
He says shopping in-store offers an experience online can’t provide.
“There’s an opportunity to pick it up, touch it, feel it and then it’s up to you. You can negotiate with shop owners, you can say I want to buy it from you.”
Mr Coates says sales, which started locally in early December, have helped draw people in and that 60 to 70 per cent of Tamworth businesses are keeping them going right up until Christmas.
