Contrary to a recent national report those who know Macclesfield best - the people who live and work here - know that it has a good mix of shops and services.
It is, of course, vital though that we use our independents or we will lose them. So get out there and do your bit for the area. Here's just a few suggestions:
Order your new TV or audio from Dooleys on Mill Street.
Go to Macclesfield Maintenance, Heating and Plumbing for your central heating and plumbing requirements.
Get your new bathroom suite from Cheshire Bathrooms at the corner of Oxford Road and Chester Road.
Get your pet supplies from Creature Comforts on Queen Victoria Street
Get your hardware from Days Ironmongers on Pickford Street
Get your D.I.Y. supplies from S and M Supplies on Waters Green
Speak to Many Happy Returns on Oxford Road for your tax advice
Go to Mario's on Park Lane for your haircut
Serendipity on Chestergate for your gifts and Medina Home at Market Place for those bits and pieces for your home
....and of course get just about anything that nobody else has got from Hadfields just off Churchill Way !
