TRADERS have set up a 'Greenock west end shops' Facebook page to encourage more people to shop locally.
The aim of the page is to promote local traders and their activities.
Chris Jewell, of the group, said: "Given we are in Level 3 Covid restrictions which mean you cannot leave your council area except for specific purposes, that in itself might help the 'please buy local' message."
