AN elected representative is urging people to support local businesses.
Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes has welcomed the return of the #lovelivelocal campaign, which aims to highlight and introduce the wealth of businesses, goods and services that Denbighshire has to offer as a way of appealing to people to shop and buy local this winter.
The campaign aims to encourage people to spend their money in Denbighshire, whilst encouraging shoppers and businesses to use their social media channels to share their positive experiences using the #lovelivelocal hashtag.

Residents are also encouraged to visit other seasonal events in their local town centre, such as the switching on of Christmas lights, community carol services and artisan markets.

Mr Baynes said: “This Christmas, I am proud to once again support the #lovelivelocal campaign, which highlights some of the best of our local businesses we have to offer here in Clwyd South.
"The Cost of Living Crisis is affecting so many people, including small businesses and I would encourage people, if you can, to try and buy local this winter.
“The community engagement element makes this campaign so special, and I will certainly be playing my part and sampling the best of Denbighshire this winter.”
