BURNHAM-on-Sea MP James Heappey is urging residents to support small businesses this weekend as part of a national campaign.
Small Business Saturday aims to highlight the success of small businesses and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.
Mr Heappey said: “Burnham’s small businesses are a very important part of the town centre, creating many jobs and providing a real service to the community.
“Small Business Saturday is a great opportunity to promote local business and local people.
“Small businesses are a vital part of the local economy and it’s important we recognise the fantastic work they do. “
