Welcome
Welcome to the ‘High Street’ edition of Totally Telford magazine. Inside you will find an exclusive mix of interviews, reviews and features that highlight the absolute best that the shops and businesses on our high streets have to offer. Our vision is to protect, care and invest to create a better borough. By investing £4.8m across high streets, we’re helping to make town centres more vibrant places that people will want to visit. There is a rich vein of talent running through this borough, from budding business people to experienced retailers. We’re working alongside them to boost business, support local jobs and our economy. In these pages you will meet some of our inspiring entrepreneurs as well as discover more about the work going on in our local communities. We hope this edition will inspire you to take pride in your local high street – that’s what we’re working to deliver. Let’s all continue to shop locally and champion independent businesses, because where you shop matters to all of us!
