Economy and Livelihood
Think about the local economy in Merton…
The town centres could degenerate due to lack of support.
Money will leave the area as profits go to multinationals.
Local employment opportunities could be lost.
Basic local services and housing could become expensive.
What’s the best way to get Merton residents to buy local produce and other goods from local shops? How do we support local sustainable enterprises e.g. organic food growing, waste composting, woodland projects.
How do we encourage local repairers? How do we encourage retraining to create local enterprise? Can we run a cash free economy through Wandle LETS?
