Nortons Ironmongers, one of Uppingham's best known family businesses, has received praise for its commitment to customer service and its pollcy of selling single items. Commenting on the receipt of a number of phone calls and complimentary messages about the business received by the town's Community Partnership, Uppingham First, a spokesperson for the Partnership said," It is rewarding to hear such positive comment about a local business. In this age of multiple packaging and compulsory minimum quantities it is good to know that you can still come into Uppingham, shop at Nortons and buy a single nut and bolt or a small quantity of whatever you need. Their range of stock is incredible. Nortons epitomise what quality customer servce and shopping in a local High Street is all about". Note : Uppingham businesses will be featured on the Uppingham First Convention Stand at this year's AMT National Market Towns Awards to be held in Chippenham on October 12th and 13th. |

Uppingham Neighbourhood Forum is to debate, at its next meeting, how it might help the community benefit from the developing Wifi umbrella over the town. One proposition to be considered is a scheme which will involve local volunteers giving support to persons who do not yet own a computer but would like to know more. This could be done on a group or individual basis. There would be no cost to participants and support sessions will be hosted at local business and charity venues. Support sessions are also proposed on the potential benefits of linking up TV, radio and smartphones to the Internet. For more information on the proposal contact
