Julian is calling for small shops across the constituency to enter the ‘Best Small Shops Competition’ run by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Small Shops.
Shops can submit applications online at www.bestsmallshops.uk setting out in no more than 500 words why they are the best small shops including; innovation in your business, community engagement and entrepreneurial activity.
All shortlisted candidates will be invited to a Parliamentary Reception next month where the winner will be announced.
Julian said:
“Small shops are at the heart of our communities so this is a great opportunity for them to be recognised for the work they do creating jobs and supporting local areas all year round. We have some of the best small shops in the country in our market towns and villages and this is a great opportunity to showcase them.”
Applications must be submitted by 30 January at 4pm.
