A TV funnyman helped to launch a new discount card aimed at bringing shoppers into a high street.
Chislehurst’s Gareth Hale, one half of comedy duo Hale and Pace, visited Petts Wood for the unveiling of the town’s Gold Card.
The card will offer customers discounts in shops, restaurants and cafes which have signed up to the scheme.
It has been launched by the Petts Wood Business Association and the organisation’s chairman, John Charsley, said: “Gareth Hale was given the first card.
“It is an excellent idea and we hope it will encourage more people to shop in Petts Wood.
“Businesses have been busy dishing out cards to shoppers and we hope it will prove to be a success.”
The card was unveiled in Petts Wood on July 4 and shoppers can pick one up at participating businesses.
