Valerie met with local shopkeepers in Crosby Village today who are concerned about the derilict areas within the village centre.
she said 'There are some fantastic shops in Crosby Village with a great entrepreneurial spirit and a vibrant centre, but many shopkeepers and residents were concerned about the derelict sites on and about Moor Lane, small businesses and shops are the backbone of this country and create many jobs, I encourage shopping local and the regeneration of the high street'.
