Small shops awards
ONE of the things which many of us love about the Test Valley area is the number of excellent small shops across our towns and villages. It’s great that Parliament has decided to recognise these with the 2015 Small Shops Competition, and it’d be equally good to see some of our local businesses apply. I can’t see why they wouldn’t fly to the top and collect the prizes.
The deadline is 30 January 2015, and details of the competition are at bestsmallshops.uk. I look forward to seeing Hampshire shops on the winners’ platform.
