Enniskillen locals are being urged to vote for their favourite independent retailers in this year's High Street Hero Awards.

The awards are held to appreciate the efforts of independent retailers, such as butchers, bakers, and baristas, in ensuring the local high street remains a thriving place to shop and socialise.

There are 12 different categories for voters to choose from, with the retailer with the most votes being named Overall Independent Retailer of The Year.

Voting for this year's High Street Hero Awards is open until 11.59pm on Wednesday, July 31.

Glyn Roberts, retail NI chief executive, said: "Independent retail is the lifeblood of communities right across Northern Ireland and our annual High Street Heroes NI campaign represents the biggest celebration of our thriving local retail sector."

Councillor John McClaughry, chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, said: "Our high streets in all towns and villages are the lifeblood of our District and play a key part in helping to ensure our economy is thriving.

"I would encourage people to take time to nominate your local independent retailer who has gone above and beyond for the local community."
