MP launches Best Local Shop competition

A new and exciting Best Local Shop competition has been launched by Chris Green MP to celebrate local shops and their contribution to our high streets.

For the first round, Mr Green is asking his constituents to nominate their favourite shop within the Bolton West and Atherton constituency. The top nominees will form a shortlist of shops from around the constituency, upon which local people will have the opportunity to choose the best local shop in the whole of the Bolton West and Atherton constituency.

Speaking about the competition, Mr Green said: “Our local high streets play a vital role in our communities, offering a wide variety of services and products.

“This is why I wanted to run this competition, to celebrate the contribution they make to our communities and local economy, as well as to encourage more people to pay a visit to their local high street.”

Investing in our high streets and backing business

Thanks to our balanced approach to the economy we can invest in our high streets and town centres. That’s why I’m working with the new Conservative council and local residents to regenerate Horwich and Westhoughton town centres and I’ll push Wigan Council to improve Atherton. Bringing empty shops back into use and championing small businesses with my Best Local Shop competition. 

Speech in Parliament - 30th December 2020

One concern that I share with the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak (Steve McCabe) is about the certainty and clarity of the tiering system and what can be seen as a slightly erratic aspect of that.
