2 DAYS AGO - Local London Assembly Member, Leonie Cooper AM, is calling upon Merton and #Wandsworth residents to #shoplocal in the run-up to Christmas.
Ms Cooper said that a “community-wide effort is needed” to support small businesses on local high streets and in town centres, as further Covid-19 restrictions come into force across the capital.
Ms Cooper’s calls come in the wake of London being named the worst-performing region, in terms of people returning to high-street shops, by Centre for Cities.
MS Cooper added: “As we stay closer to home, a community-wide effort is needed to give our struggling local high streets and town centres the boost they need to get through the winter.
“For those unable to get to the shops at the moment, this can also be done remotely through City Hall’s ‘Pay it Forward’ crowdfunding scheme”

7 DAYS AGO - Wimbledon-based Chemist Von Sy has been shortlisted for the Health and Wellbeing Entrepreneur of the Year Award after creating a range of plant-based child-friendly cleaning products.
Mr Sy’s company Nimble’s first creation was the 'Milk Buster', a spray derived from coconuts, corn and sugarcane which breaks down milk fats and proteins left on baby’s bottle. His motivation was sparked after seeing his baby neice's milk bottles stay cloudy and smelly after being cleaned with detergent.
The company now sells a range of family friendly cleaning products, including a bleach-free antibacterial spray called Sticky Stopper and a tough yet gentle washing liquid called Laundry Love.
Mr Sy said he always knew one day he would start his own company as he showed an enterprising spirit from a young age, selling both ice lollies from his parents’ garden as a child and stationary as a teenager.
Congratulations & good luck to Von Sy!
