We really love our independent shops in Hornsey & Wood Green. So now I’ve launched a competition to find which one we love the best.

This is part of my mission to support the many independent retailers we are lucky enough to have here. It runs alongside our Liberal Democrat campaign to introduce 30 minutes of free parking to Haringey’s high streets.

Constituents can nominate and vote for their favourite independent retailer in three categories: best customer service, the most attractive shop front and the overall best independent shop.

Many shops have already agreed to actively participate and are already giving voting forms to their customers and are putting up posters.

We are going to have a special event in the summer to announce the winners. And one voter will also receive a £100 voucher to spend in their favourite independent shop.

You can nominate and vote via the forms available in the shops or online here.
