INDEPENDENT shops in Stockbridge are uniting to host a “clearance sale” to help each other through the tough retail conditions.

Five stores – Undercover, Weekend, The Owl and Pussycat, Lane End and La Bella Donna – are holding the sale at the town hall on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm on both days.

Stockbridge High Street was recently named one of the prettiest streets in the UK by the Daily Telegraph.
