"As the Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton my wife and I are determined to do the best we can for our town. Many individuals, stores and businesses now support Fairtrade and during our year the Mayoress and I will do our best to encourage people to do this. Buying Fairtrade products is one small way in which we can all help people across the world earn a decent living. On behalf of Bolton Council I would like to thank all those of you who are buying Fairtrade products and encourage everyone else to do this whenever possible. Thank you."
