SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Fflint Wrecsam, is calling on his constituents in Wrexham to back the UK’s biggest celebration of local markets this week.
The Love Your Local Market Campaign runs from May 15 to May 30 and Mr Rowlands is encouraging local people to join in the festivities at The Butchers’ Market, General Market, Monday Market and Tŷ Pawb.
He said: “I am always happy to back any events which help to promote my constituency of Fflint Wrecsam and delighted to see Wrexham once again taking part in this initiative.
“Wrexham has a great heritage of markets and they play a vital role in our communities. It is good to see Wrexham council continuing to support local businesses by helping to promote these popular places.
“As most people know, I am a great fan of encouraging people to buy local produce and goods and I would urge everyone to support this week long campaign and continue to use the markets in the future.”
Love Your Local Market is a worldwide campaign created and delivered in the UK by The National Association of British Markets.
This year’s campaign is built around the message “Make it a Market Day for YOUR MARKET – Proudly Local.”
In Wrexham, The Butchers’ Market, General Market and Tŷ Pawb will all be joining the campaign, helping to shine a spotlight on the unique role markets play in supporting local businesses, nurturing new ideas and bringing communities together.
There will also be an opportunity to find out more about becoming a market trader as Wrexham’s Council’s Markets and Business team will be holding drop-in sessions at the Butcher’s Market on the Wednesday, May 20 from 11am-1pm and Friday, May 29 from 2pm-4pm.
