Creating an Armed Forces friendly High Street

On Thursday 9th March, Great Dawley Town Council hosted an event where over 30 High Street businesses signed the Armed Forces Covenant; Creating an Armed Forces friendly High Street.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

High Street businesses that have signed up to the covenant include: Dillinger’s, Card Shop, Dawley Laundrette, Dawley Town Hall, Hilbre Charity Shop, Rod & Gun Fishing Tackle and many more.

We were delighted to welcome Colonel Francis Acton, Honorary Colonel D (Shropshire Yeomanry) Squadron, Shropshire Yeonmanry to the event who signed on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

We would like to extend our thanks and support to Telford & Wrekin Council, Telford Mind, Dawley Bank Reserve Centre and the Ministry of Defence
