One Stockport Campaign

The Council wishes to commission the creation of a 'One Stockport' campaign that supports Stockport in its recovery from the crisis and one which: 1. Develops local awareness about supporting the Stockport Economy as we come out of Lockdown and into a recovery process and basically encourage all our residents and communities to back local business and 'Shop and Buy Local' 2.

Builds on the resilience and support communities have demonstrated so far, to further connect communities and instil a sense of pride in 'One Stockport' 3. Builds levels of positivity and confidence in businesses in Stockport, encouraging businesses and residents to support the recovery of the local economy by promoting the message that Stockport is open for business The following tasks are required as part of the commission: 1.
