You can support Tooting, Balham and Earlsfield’s diverse retailers by voting for your favourite independent stores.

Conservative parliamentary candidate for Tooting, Dan Watkins, launched the 2015 Love Your Local competition on Saturday.

Last year's contest saw a thousand entries, with Wandsworth businesses offering some prizes for those taking part.

Mr Watkins said: "Smaller retailers give our communities character, but they're also creating jobs here in Tooting and growing our economy. So it's right that we help our small shops by reminding residents of the importance of using them."
