Commenting on his shop local campaign Antony Higginbotham MP said:
We’ve so many great small businesses here in Burnley and Padiham who don’t have huge advertisements budgets. And in the run up to Christmas I’m urging everybody to think about them when shopping for Christmas presents.
Our small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, employing our friends, family and neighbours.
Christmas shopping is the perfect opportunity to support them and so, this Christmas I’d urge everybody to shop local and support our independent traders.
The next few weeks are set to be busy with people keen to make the most of the festivities after the Covid restrictions in place last year. And with the advent of December and the countdown to Christmas, shoppers are already out in force.
