WHAT’S ON
WHAT’S ON
the town is getting into the
Christmas spirit! A big week
of festive activities has been
arranged from 30th November
to 7th December. This includes
a big switch on of the Christmas
12 lights and a special late night
SPORT
shopping event.
The current economic downturn
means that it’s more important
than ever to shop locally. The
SPORT
aim of our magazine is to
encourage people to use the
area’s shops and tradesmen.
When you respond to an advert
19 in Neston Local, you know that
you will be supporting a business
on your own doorstep.
We hope you enjoy the latest
edition of Neston Local, and
don’t forget to mention the
magazine when responding to
