Shop Local As Well!

Councillor Phil Bateman said " Whilst there is a lot of activity in Wolverhampton and Wednesfield as in the other district centres to attract and hold shoppers....I would still like to make an appeal for people not to forget to use the local shopping parades like the one on Ashmore Park for instance and those at the Pheasant."

He went onto say "These shop keepers [play a valuable role in ensuring that there is commodities on sale through out the year.

My appeal to the public is just consider what can be supplied by your local shops in your quest for goods over the Christmas period.
