Names and numbers of local suppliers are needed as work begins on producing Wootton Bassett's first free directory of home-grown products.

The directory is part of a North Wiltshire District Council led initiative called 'Made in the Wootton Bassett area', which aims to raise awareness of local producers and to encourage retailers and the public to buy from local suppliers.

Councillors Olivia Thomas and Chris Wannell are liaising with the district council's regeneration officer Damian Wood to help identify local producers and plan the project.

Pupils at Wootton Bassett School are designing a logo for the project which will be launched at the town's High Street Festival on August 7.

A thousand directories will be distributed in shops, pubs and places of local interest and will be supported by window stickers and fridge magnets.

To be included in the directory contact Mr Wood on (01249) 706523 or email dwood@northwilts.gov.uk.
