Love Local Business in Basingstoke As the Basingstoke Gazette, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, The Borough Basket and #LoveBasingstoke continue their pledge to Love Local Businesses we are giving a shout out to all those who are working hard to keep the city buzzing. We have a unique offer to the corner shops, takeaway businesses, coffee vendors, pub-meals-on-the-go and all others who are open for business or offer a “click and collect” service. We want you to come with us and we will tell the world what you are up to. It could not be easier. All we want is a picture of you, or your customers in action as they receive that latte, pizza, weekly shop or home delivery.
