Stockton Lib Dems mark Fairtrade Fortnight with Fairtrade chocolate, coffee and tea

Stockton Liberal Democrats Support Fairtrade

Stockton Lib Dems held a pre-conference meeting yesterday in Starbooks Cafe in Stockton. On the middle weekend of Fairtrade Fortnight members were keen to stress that we support Fairtrade.
