Numerous non food shops that have been forced to close through the latest lockdown are providing services during the continuing coronavirus crisis.
Many in Lowestoft and Waveney are finding ways to continue trading by using online sales backed up by either home delivery or ‘click and collect’.
Here we have listed some of those we know about in the Lowestoft and Waveney areas so far, that have made their trading options visible on Facebook or social media.
If your business is not included, please let us know and we will try to keep the list updated – in an effort to help everyone to continue shopping locally.
Email mark.boggis@archant.co.uk and lowestoft.journal@archant.co.uk with all your details.
