Christmas shoppers in Tunbridge Wells can escape the busy crowds and win a festive hamper this week courtesy of South East Water.

The water company’s pop up shop will be open at Royal Victoria Place on Thursday from 4pm and Friday from 9am.

Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the company and its Customer Metering Programme and hand out water efficiency goodie bags.

Shoppers who stop for a drink and take part in a short questionnaire will not only help improve the way South East Water communicates with its customers, but will also be entered into a raffle to win one of two Christmas hampers.

Michelle Doyle Wildman, external affairs manager at South East Water, said: “We want to ensure our information leaflets are helpful and easy to understand so are asking our customers for their thoughts and views.

“Come and see us in the old Thornton’s Chocolate unit next to Timpson to find out more.”
