VIDEO: Duo will ‘storm streets’ to promote Buy Local cause

A BUSINESSWOMAN has joined forces with the mayor to step-up a campaign to get more people spending money in independent shops.

Melanie Peters, MD of Best of Worthing, has long been championing the ‘Buy Local’ campaign, but on October 9, she and Worthing mayor Bob Smytherman will take to the streets to get more shops on-board.

The campaign promotes the cause of the independent shop, encouraging shoppers to choose smaller shops over the big brands.
