We’re celebrating the way residents and businesses have adapted during the Covid-19 pandemic. Last week at Bingham market, we caught up with two regular market visitors Kristina and Craig who explained what it means to support their local market: “We’ve changed how we shop.

It’s great as we buy just what we need so we’ve massively reduced our food wastage whilst knowing that our purchases are helping support local businesses which is really important to us. We love heading down to the market and chatting to the traders.”
