COPELAND Council is encouraging residents to ‘shop local’ when non-essential businesses reopen next week.
The council launched its Shop Local: Keep it in Copeland campaign last year to promote and support local businesses.
As part of the campaign, the council has appointed a dedicated Shop Local Co-ordinator to work with businesses directly, and has launched four directories with addresses and website/social media details for thousands of Copeland’s retailers, food premises, health/beauty providers and services/tradespeople.
