A hair salon wants to encourage high street businesses to brighten up their window displays.

Cabello in Witham have put on a valentines display on their high street store in a bid to try and lift the sombre mood of the high street.

Owner Kat Berale said she hoped it would 'inspire' other businesses to do the same.

She said: "We are speaking some lockdown love at Cabello. We are also producing live Positivity Challenges on Facebook.

Braintree and Witham Times:

"I’m hoping our windows will inspire some other businesses to decorate their windows, so the town doesn’t just look sad and boarded up."

The salon also recently donated over £306 to NHS Community Donations along with drinks for staff.

The Times is supporting local businesses as part of our Love Local Business Scheme.
