TODAY marks the culmination of our Buy Local campaign - and we have declared July 4 Independents' Day for Worcestershire.
We want our readers to give the chain stores and supermarkets a miss for a day and try buying local.
Head out to your local independent shops, pubs, restaurants, markets and cafes and give them a helping hand as they battle against the recession.
To celebrate Independents' Day your Worcester News has today published a special 16-page supplement packed with Buy Local information and discount offers from advertisers.
To read an electronic version of the supplement just click on the link below this article.
Comments: Our rules
We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
Please report any comments that break our rules.
