Wandsworth's Mayor Launches "Love Tooting" Campaign

Add Comment

The latest version of TootingLife.com has been launched at a special Valentine's lunch by The Worshipful Mayor, Councillor Jane Cooper JP.

The event brought retailers, businesses, market traders and shoppers together to share their love of Tooting.

Shoppers are being invited to vote for their favourite store, restaurant, cafe or salon during February and to give their reasons for their selection on the fully refurbished town centre website. One lucky winner will be given a FREE shopping spree where they can spend, spend, spend at their chosen venue!!

Businesses in SW17 have got together in a unique collaboration which has turned Tooting into a totally digital town centre. More than 50 businesses have undergone training to help them use the internet to attract shoppers back onto the High Street.

Each of the businesses has their own micro-site detailing their location, products and contact details. They can also add special offers, and so far more than 20 discount vouchers have been made available, as Tooting fights to get local residents back into Town.

The 'lunch' took place at Tooting Market, and was celebrated with a specially made celebration Valentine cake from Unique Cakes on Mitcham Rd, which the Mayor ceremoniously cut to get the day under way in romantic style.

The winner of the "Love Tooting" competition will be announced at the end of February.
