Stratford MP Nadhim Zahawi is today delighted to confirm that nominations for his Stratford-on-Avon Independent Shop Awards 2017 are now open to the public. The annual awards give residents of Stratford-on-Avon the ability to vote for their favourite independent business from a range of categories and see the winners congratulated.

Commenting, Nadhim said:

"My Independent Shop Awards are one of my favourite annual events in Stratford. Whether it is shops, pubs, restaurants, hotels or smaller B&Bs, I am always delighted to see the wide range of businesses my constituency has to offer and congratulate those of whom the public have deemed the best. Independent businesses are the backbone of our economy, both local and national, so I would like to encourage all my constituents to make their nominations in good time so that we can reward those who put our constituency and country on the map as places where small businesses thrive".

Nominations close on 24th November.
