High streets and shopping centres across the Black Country and Staffordshire are hoping tills will be jingling in the post-Christmas glow.

It brings residents from all around the Black Country to shopping centres, markets and retail parks to take advantage of the post-Christmas sales, giving a huge boost to the local economy.

Sarah Moorhouse, CEO of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, said: "Amid all the changes in customer habits, Boxing Day shopping remains important for retailers.

"Our retail members recognise the importance of the entire Christmas period and want to make the most of every opportunity for sales.

"With the cost of living crisis putting pressure on spending, local shops and businesses across the Black Country will want to attract customers who are out to spend Christmas money or want to take advantage of sales or offers."
