Here’s a new idea…The Bristol Pound is a secure local currency designed to support Bristol’s independent businesses, strengthen the local economy, keep our high streets diverse and distinct, helping build a strong community. A local currency increases the likelihood that money spent in Bristol stays in Bristol, retaining and multiplying the benefit of every pound spent for ordinary people and businesses. So using Bristol Pounds will help to plug a major leak of money out of the Bristol economy. They say…You can get Bristol Pounds either by exchanging them with pounds sterling or accepting them as payment. By doing so you will be making a clear demonstration of your support for the local Bristol economy. One Bristol Pound has the value of one pound sterling in any transaction, but many other benefits make it worth much more! |
