Today is Small Business Saturday and I have been across the entire Stoke-on-Trent Central Constituency visiting as many businesses as possible to show my support. It's been brilliant to see how enthusiastic people are.
I have seen new businesses but I have also seen lots of businesses that have been here for decades, and it's great to see they are thriving. But they all need the support of local people, so the message today is to support your local businesses especially in the run-up to Christmas.
