Shop local, Support local this festive season

Forest of Dean District Council is working alongside local businesses to encourage residents to ‘Shop Local’ this festive season to help the local economy and Forest of Dean communities to thrive.

As part of the Shop Local campaign, Forest of Dean District Council has put together three prize hampers that can be won by residents who provide a copy of their receipt to show that they Shop Local, Support Local this festive season. 

The prize hampers have been paid for by Forest of Dean District Council and filled with produce bought from a range of local retailers and suppliers, further helping to support businesses across the Forest of Dean.
