A new shop is Coming Soon to Stert Street – well in time for Christmas. It is underneath the Utopia Beauty Salon and will sell some of the beauty products used upstairs as well as new lines.

Stert Street was once the ugly duckling on the Abingdon retail scene – it was the street of empty shop fronts. It was the street where a child in a buggy had to breathe in traffic fumes. But times have changed, and Stert Street has been transformed.

Stert Street got good wide pavements out of Abits (Abingdon Integrated Transport Strategy) and better air quality. Other streets did less well. The High Street pavements are still waiting to be rectified two years after they were laid.
