SHOPPERS and visitors in Burnham are being armed with a new guide this week by the town’s Chamber of Trade.

The pocket-sized leaflet provides a complete guide to over 100 of Burnham’s best independent shops and businesses, plus a map of the town centre ready for festive shoppers this December.

Fifty thousand copies of the free publication are being handed out across the area to promote the town centre over the coming year.

Chamber of Trade chairman Mark Newman said: “It’s a really important publication that pushes the fact that Burnham is open for business.

“It shines the light on local shops and is for local people as well as visitors and tourists.”
