25 High Street Heroes have been announced in towns across Telford & Wrekin nominated by local residents, members of the public and businesses who use their services and feel they make a valuable contribution to the local community.
Councillors presented business winners with trophies and certificates in six borough towns including Dawley, Ironbridge, Madeley, Newport, Oakengates and Wellington in the run up to Small Business Saturday on Saturday, December 7.
The annual, national campaign encourages shoppers to go local in the run-up to Christmas.
