00:05 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Madam Mayor come to the ribbon, scream, shout, cheer, go on, the brand shiny

00:14 new film stretcher here in Brussels is now open.

00:17 And I so hope they do so well. I really do. We need it, we've got enough residents to

00:24 use it. If you don't use it, we'll lose it. So, looking around a shop is not good enough.

00:31 Shopping in a shop is what we need.

00:34 What would you say if I was to give you £10? It is even better isn't it?

00:39 It's been really, really good. All the footfalls that we have, all the customers that are coming

00:47 in for a shop, we have really, really good positive feedback. They said they are really

00:53 impressed with the varieties of the stuff that we have. Also, as well as seeing quite

00:59 a lot of shops are at a reasonable price. I think it will be really good for the local

01:05 people because, you know, obviously we heard the news about Wilco's and stuff as well.

01:09 So now, we've been here, I think we will support the community in terms of the rising

01:15 cost of living as well.

01:20 The local food bank, the local butcher have opened this week and they very kindly offered

01:23 to support our food banks. So, they have offered us a 60 second trolley dash today and they've

01:29 given us an opportunity to support the food bank this morning. So, we are Encompass Charity.

01:33 We have four food banks, one in Rushton, one in Horns, one in Higham Ferries and one in

01:39 Fraxton. We have two homeless accommodations, one in Corby and one in Rushton. And we also

01:46 have an eight bed male week, which is basically a bed in.

01:50 Thank you.
