Stortford Spotlight Answers

1. Billboard in Jackson Square

“Exceed expectations.”

“Set a goal and get moving.”

A reminder that small goals build momentum and most limits are self-imposed.


2. Secret Spot in Town

Terrace Park Café, Castle Park
Coffee, croissants, and calm — a favourite weekend spot.
