The search is on to find the best pub and local shop in Montgomeryshire.

Craig Williams, Member of Parliament for Montgomeryshire, has launched a campaign to find Montgomeryshire to “celebrate our incredible hard-working small business owners.”

Mr Williams has launched the Montgomeryshire Best Pub and Best Shop awards to find the best pubs and local shops across the constituency, with gold, silver and bronze awards in both categories.

Members of the public are being encouraged to nominate their favourite pub and shop this month with nominations being open until 12pm on Wednesday November 30 - with results being announced on Small Business Saturday December 3.

Mr Williams said the awards were an opportunity to champion the best independent businesses in the area: “To celebrate our incredible hard-working small business owners across Montgomeryshire, I’ve launched two new awards to recognise Montgomeryshire’s best pubs and local shops.”

“We are very lucky to have so many incredible independent businesses within Montgomeryshire, all of whom have gone above and beyond to support our local communities year in year out.

“Entries for the awards can be made about any pub or shop across the constituency, with the winners chosen by public vote. Please get sharing across social media and word of mouth, and best of luck to all of our pub and shop owners in Montgomeryshire.”
