Ross has been granted fair trade town status by the Fair Trade Foundation

Members of the Ross Fair Trade town steering group were delighted to receive the certificate on Monday, in time for their meeting.

The Fair Trade Foundation congratulated the Town on its achievement and thanked all the local people who have been involved in this initiative.

The foundation was particularly impressed at the number of independent retailers in the town who are selling products with the fair trade logo and with the group's excellent media coverage.
