Following on the theme of Buy Local, thebestof Hull is now conducting a major research initiative to gauge peoples' views about the state of local high streets in Hull.
This research, which is part of a national campaign, and the largest of its kind, will examine how consumers use their local high streets. The finding's will be drawn up into a national report to support thebestof's Buy Local campaign, which aims to get more people supporting independent shops and stores.
The survey can be found at www.thebestof.co.uk/survey and will run for 12 weeks.
If you value your local and independent businesses and shops, simply log on and leave your views.
