There is already enough information out there if people are interested, without HBC trying to obtain the status of a Freetrade borough by actively encoraging the relevant number of shops or cafes to qualify as such.
Exactly. I would assume that the role of the Council, when it comes to retailing, is to ensure the food shops are clean, there is no counterfeit gear on sale,the Calder sells a full pint and the kids don't buy fags & booze while underage.

So what the hell are they doing mucking around with global trade policy? They cannot even get the bins emptied efficiently.

I think it's time to hit the top shelf.
