To celebrate independent traders Haringey council is encouraging people to take selfies with their favourite independent traders.

The Selfie with an Indie campaign organised by traders in partnership with the council aims to get people discovering the range of independent traders available to them within the borough.

Independents’ Day, organised by the National Skills Academy for Retail, is in its fourth year and is a nationwide event timed to coincide with July 4 Independence Day celebrations in the USA.

Councillor Joe Goldberg said: “From Bruce Grove to Bounds Green, Haringey has a fantastic array of independent businesses offering everything from artisan food and drink to valued local services.

“If there is a local shop you love, don’t keep it to yourself – shout it loud and clear on Saturday by sharing your selfie and encourage your neighbours to explore the brilliant stores on their high street.”
