Congratulations to Nikki Drew who has been selected at random by MJC Accountants (who co-sponsored the campaign) winning the £150 of vouchers to spend on the high street- the perfect way to start the festivities.
"What a wonderful idea to encourage new destination shopping for local independent businesses, avoiding the big chains and supermarkets. We moved to the area in the summer and are absolutely thrilled to be part of this huge community spirit. We are even more thrilled to be winners of the Chapel Allerton Indie Trail prize- It has opened our eyes to independent outlets we had never heard of before!" Nikki Drew
