This week’s blog is about shop local, eat local and play local. We know times are tight but we want our students to help traders across Lancashire stay in business. There are so many benefits in supporting our local butchers and the local food markets. We at Letpads also realise that our students are into healthy eating and putting good food in their bodies, so this is one of the reasons why we have decided to do a blog on local business within Preston.
If you’re a meat lover and looking for a good cut of meat, then look no further. Livesey’s butchers is a family run butchers’ shop and have been established since 1983. They are located in the market and all meat is locally sourced. You can also pre-order via the phone. Most of the Letpad houses are walking distance to the town centre so do check this one out.
