Local MP Lynne Featherstone has this week announced a ‘Summer Fete’ style event, to mark the end of her independent shops competition.
Over the past four months, thousands of votes have been cast by local residents across three different categories: Best shop front, best customer service, and best all round shop.
The winners will be announced at the event on Saturday 29th June at Hornsey Town Hall square. It will be open to the public from 11am.
Over 100 local retailers have been invited to attend the event, and a number of them will be exhibiting their products on site. There will also be community group stalls, a bake off, a live band, food stalls, and games.
The Liberal Democrat MP will announce the winners of the competition at around 2pm, and also pick the name of one lucky voter out of a hat. They will receive £100 to spend in a shop of their choice.
Local residents can vote for their favourite shops until the 31st May, when the competition closes.
Commenting, Lynne Featherstone MP said:
“The response to the competition has been overwhelming. It is clear how much residents appreciate their local independent shops and retailers.
“During these tough times, it’s vital that we support and promote our independent shops and retailers. That is what this competition and event is all about.
“Time is running out for local residents to vote for their favourite shops – so please vote as soon as possible if you haven’t already!
“I can’t wait to get everyone together and announce the winners. It looks set to be great event, and I look forward to seeing as many local residents and retailers there as possible.”
