It seems that the local shops are suffering in the beautiful little town of Whitstable. They have decided to display these posters to encourage the residents to support their local businesses.

I hope this works for them, and maybe other places should try the same tactic.

excellent idea 90% of all our shopping is from small shops and only a small amount do we buy from supermarkets only because we need something late at night to make something which we have already started to cook.

What a good idea thank you.

What a good idea!

I wish I could say most of my shopping is with independents, and I keep on about using the local butchers more, but time is precious and the supermarket is convenient

Biggest thing for us is parking. With 2 nippers and associated paraphernalia, it's either 30 mins paid parking in the town centre, or 4 hours free parking at the big retail park.

We do have a park and ride, but it's the wrong side of town. But it is nice once in a while to walk in to town and have a mooch. Well at least that's what the missus tells me to say...

I'm as guilty as the rest. Also, with my speedy life, I find I'm buying more and more online, which is even worse.

Note to self - New Year's Resolution-support small independent shops.
