Lynne Featherstone MP has today launched a competition to find the best independent shops in Hornsey and Wood Green.
The competition is part of the Liberal Democrat MP’s efforts to support the many independent retailers in her constituency, alongside her campaign to introduce 30 minutes of free parking to Haringey’s high streets.
Constituents will be able to nominate and vote for the independent retailers in Hornsey and Wood Green with the best customer service, the most attractive shop front, and for the best overall independent shop. Many shops have agreed to actively participate and give voting forms to their customers.
Winners will be announced at a local event in the summer. One voter will also receive a £100 voucher to spend in their favourite independent shop.
Lynne Featherstone MP commented:
“It is so important that we help the independent businesses which make such a vital contribution to life in our local area.
“We should be proud of the vibrancy of our high streets in Hornsey and Wood Green. This is a fantastic opportunity to support and reward the best of our local independent retailers.
“I am determined to take a stand to support our high streets, and I am very excited to find out which shops are most valued by residents.”
