“This is a hugely challenging time for people and businesses in our community, and I welcome the Government’s support to help protect the livelihoods of thousands of people in Wandsworth.  

As we begin to move out of lockdown and return to a sense of normality, we all have a part to play in kick starting our local economy and backing local businesses and jobs.

By shopping locally we will help protect our high streets and local businesses as well as saving local jobs in our community.”
