Small Business Saturday in Newport East

Newport East

Small Business Saturday

Jessica Morden MP

Hello!

The small businesses in Newport East really are the lifeblood of the constituency.

Making this wonderful area as magical as it is by providing unique shopping and leisure experiences, we are so lucky in Newport East to have lots of little villages, districts and hamlets where you can find boutique stores, places to eat and drink, and service businesses the help to make life easier.

I know that right now things are tough for these small businesses, which is why this Small Business Saturday I'm asking everyone to, if they can, support our small businesses. Whether you're buying satsumas for your fruit bowl or gifts for family members, let's think small first.

As always, if there is anything I might be able to help with please do get in touch - there are many issues that my office and I can help with, including benefits, tax, pensions immigration and policing.

My email address is jessica.morden.mp@parliament.uk or you can call the office on 01633 841725.
