A new initiative in Radcliffe on Trent is linking incoming residents with independent businesses in the village.
Spitfire Homes, a Midlands-based developer, has launched its Gold Card programme at Sherbourne, its first Nottingham housing collection. The scheme gives new homeowners access to offers from local retailers, hospitality venues, and leisure providers, with businesses able to set their own promotions at no cost.
Early partners include Radcliffe Golf Club, Lisa’s Barber Shop, The Flower Shop, One More Chapter Bookshop, Ava Joyce Ladies Boutique, and Fruitlicious Fruit and Veg Shop. The programme aims to increase footfall for local traders while helping new residents integrate into the community.
The Sherbourne development will also contribute more than £2 million to local infrastructure, including £450,000 for highways and transport improvements and £870,000 to expand Radcliffe-on-Trent Infant and Junior Schools.
The Gold Card scheme remains open to additional local businesses. Spitfire Homes is actively seeking new partners to expand the programme and strengthen community engagement.
