Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart said: “Independent local businesses aren’t just shops; they’re the beating heart of our communities.
“These drivers of local growth don’t just provide jobs; they make our towns and villages the vibrant places they are. I’m proud to visit the towns and villages in my constituency and come across beautiful, quirky, fascinating independently owned shops and businesses everywhere I go, and I want to celebrate them.
“I’m so thrilled there’s been such a great response to my Independent Shops competition. It shows just how much we care about our communities, as well we should.”
