LOVE LOCAL CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 508, tabled 20 January 2009 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 25 members.

That this House welcomes the Love Local campaign launched by the Westmorland Gazette aimed at supporting and promoting the local community; recognises that, given the economic climate, communities have a responsibility to work together by creating a vibrant sense of community and promoting local businesses; highlights the Love Local campaign as an excellent example of how to encourage independent retailers to promote themselves and become an integral part of the local community; and urges other communities to follow suit by adopting their own Love Local campaign to support smaller businesses and energise the local economy.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 10, DUP 1, Independent 1.
