Stevenage Fairtrade actions

• Fairtrade road signs have been fixed to the 'Welcome to Stevenage' signs at entrances to the Town, near the Railway station and also in the Town Centre.
• A Directory, listing Fairtrade product outlets, and those organisations using Fairtrade products, is being compiled.
• A floral design of the Fairtrade logo is planned for a town centre location next year.
• Links with Ingelheim and Autun are planned - as both our twin towns already support the Initiative.
• Fairtrade County status will soon be under discussion via links with other Fairtrade towns in Hertfordshire
• School projects are proposed with our twin-towns.

There is a need to increase the number of Fairtrade retail outlets in Stevenage - status is granted on a ratio of outlets per head of population - hence the media coverage and mail-out to ensure that all possible outlets and organisations are aware - and can be included.
