'Keep it Wyre Forest' this Christmas

As the Christmas lights go on around the Wyre Forest district, the count down to Christmas has firmly begun and the Leader of Wyre Forest District Council is calling on local communities to keep their Christmas shopping local this year.

As the economic climate is still distinctly chilly, local people supporting local shops will help to keep local people in jobs.  Many businesses rely on the Christmas period to see them through the lean months in the new year, and people can make a big difference by supporting shops within the district.

Councillor John Campion, Leader of Wyre Forest District Council says:
“Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley town centres all have much to offer shoppers, from big high street names to specialist independents.  I urge local people to 'keep it local' this year wherever possible and help make a brighter and more prosperous Wyre Forest in 2010!”
