Search Local Businesses
In conjunction with the West Belfast Traders' Forum, the West Belfast Partnership Board through their Economic Development Unit, launched a new West Belfast business concept “Buy Local” or “Ceannaigh go háitiúil”.
Gerry Adams, local MP officially launched the new "Buy Local" campaign in West Belfast on Wednesday 27 June 2007.
Francesca Cahill, the newly elected Chairperson of the group added: “We are delighted that Gerry Adams, the West Belfast MP, has put his weight behind the concept and we thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule to officially launch the campaign.”
The Traders' Forum will look at everything from security and safety, to problems with graffiti, traffic management and refuse collection.
“We are encouraging the local community to support local and indigenous businesses which in turn will help boost the local economy. With such a dense population living in the west of the city, massive sums of cash are spent by people of West Belfast on a weekly basis. All we are asking is that they think local and buy local” claimed Francesca.
