Supporting the local economy following the coronavirus crisis
Over the past weeks and months, the coronavirus has caused devastation and touched every one of us. It may have affected our health & wellbeing and those around us and has had a big impact on our local economy.
The first phase of the One Stockport campaign is focusing on Stockport’s Economic Recovery – supporting businesses as they reopen and begin to recover from the effects of the coronavirus; encouraging people to ‘shop locally’ and safely, and building confidence in people as they ease out of lockdown.
