Ten Good Reasons to shop locally campaign

Rural Community Council of Essex (RCCE) is a delivery partner for the 2nd Essex Local Area Agreement 2008-11 with a responsibility for Local Indicator 5.1 'Access to Services'.

As a result RCCE proposes to focus its efforts on a specific range of services that it considers most essential in a rural context as well as raise awareness and help develop a promotional campaign to support local services.

As a result the '10 Good Reasons to shop locally' campaign has been created to help RCCE encourage residents in rural Essex to support their local shops and services.

We shall also be working with local communities to support their shop or pub, particularly when they are the last service in the village. This could mean helping the current owner diversify their services or helping the community to take over the service to ensure its continuation. The RCCE, in conjunction with Essex County Council shall be providing a “Community Shops and Pubs day” on the 4th November for communities interested in running its own shop or pub. More details shall be available from September 2010.
