We're delighted to announce a new partnership which will enable local independent shops, big or small, to set up an online click and collect or delivery service.
From 23 November, residents anywhere in the district can use Click It Local Uttlesford, allowing them to buy from local independent shops and have it delivered on the same day.
From weekly food essentials, gifts and treats to last minute basics, customers can buy everything they need from as many different shops as they like, with one payment and one delivery.
More details will follow shortly – look out for updates on our website, Facebook and Twitter channels.
