We believe that a great way of reducing our carbon footprint, supporting nature and boosting the resilience of our communities is to support our local economy by buying locally-produced products from local independent businesses. We are thrilled that 17 of our local independent businesses are offering Big Green Deals as part of Great Big Green Week and hope that local people will be encouraged to discover some real hidden gems and to start to think differently about their spending choices. Using the Big Green Deals people can get discounts on local floral bouquets, getting their bike serviced, getting their shoes repaired, getting their vacuum cleaner repaired, treating their dog and grabbing a meal and a coffee! And that's just by using a few of the special offers - there are many more!
