Fair Trade Finders will officially lunch next week but it is up and running. Please add the products you find in shops, cafes, supermarkets and restaurants but also museums, galleries, theatres, cinemas, music venues and festivals (if you spot Fair Trade products being sold in gift shops or cafes). As discussed, if you find nothing when visiting cultural places, please email catherine@scottishfairtrade.org to let me know.
Fair Trade road signage update: this morning I spoke to Transport Scotland and I have an email address to find out more. They told me that, as a general rule, if the road is a trunk or ‘A’ road, that’s the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland, and if it’s a ‘B’ road where the sign would be placed, then it’s your local council that you’d contact. I will clarify this by email and update you.
