A loyalty scheme for Cockermouth shoppers which was launched following the 2009 floods has ended.
Sue Hannah, of Limelighting on Station Road, has run the Shop 10 scheme for the past five years.
But she said: "I cannot do it anymore and no one else is able to take it on."
The scheme was set up by the town's chamber of trade to reward people who supported the town’s businesses with a monthly prize draw, boosting trade for local retailers, many of which were affected by the floods.
Shoppers collected 10 stamps from independent businesses on cards which were then entered into a monthly draw. Ten winners each received a £10 voucher.
"I thoroughly enjoyed doing it and I loved the responses of people when they got a reward," said Sue.
"It was a nice way for retailers to thank people for their custom.
"Some people were dedicated Shop 10ers, we had over 200 regulars and even more at Christmas."
