Think of your local town as you shop this Christmas

We are fast approaching the festive season. I am appealing to people to shop local where they can this Christmas. 

It is now more important than ever that we support local businesses and local jobs and there is just as much value to be got in local towns and villages as there is in the bigger centres.

There are many local business, community organisations and chambers of commerce who are organising special shopping weeks and incentives in the run up to Christmas.
