It was great to show my support for local convenience stores in Parliament recently, in a year when running a small business is becoming increasingly challenging.
Our local shops in Bridlington and The Wolds employ nearly 650 people and play a hugely valuable role in our community. I welcome the Association of Convenience Stores Local Shop Report 2025 and thank them for their work to maintain the success of this underappreciated industry acs.org.uk/research/local-shop-report
