WEST Dunbartonshire residents are being encouraged to show support for businesses in the area to boost the local economy.
They are being encouraged to sign the Scotland Loves Local Pledge - a commitment to protecting jobs and helping their community to thrive by backing spending money in the constituency.
The pledge - which can be signed by clicking here - has been unveiled in the build up to the second Scotland Loves Local Week, which takes place from August 26th.
It is being organised by Scotland’s Towns Partnership (STP).

STP chief officer Kimberley Guthrie said: “It is all too easy to underestimate the impact that supporting local people supporting local businesses and local businesses supporting other local businesses can have.
"But the fact is that every one of us can play a remarkable part in building better, stronger communities by doing exactly that.
“Our pledge is a statement of intent for those who back it - and Scotland Loves Local Week is your chance to shout the great things happening to make communities across West Dunbartonshire fit for the future.”
