Local MP, Caroline Dinenage, has launched her annual “Best Independent Shop Competition” to celebrate our wonderful local small independent businesses.
Caroline is asking constituents from Gosport, Lee on the Solent, Stubbington and Hill Head to nominate their favourite small business within the Gosport Constituency.
Anyone can make a nomination before 24 November at www.caroline4gosport.co.uk/bisc22 and the top 10 nominees will go head to head at the same link on 25 November with the competition concluding on Small Business Saturday!
The 2021 Competition saw over 2000 people nominate their favourite shop, with Alverstoke Village Hardware being announced the Gosport constituency’s Best Independent Shop.
Commenting, Caroline said:
“Our local independent shops and cafes are at the heart of our community and this competition recognises the importance of these small businesses and the entrepreneurs who run them.
“It was great to see so many nominations last year and I hope that this year’s competition is a similar success.”
