TRADERS in Chester-le-Street are being urged to support a plan that will literally put them on the map to boost business.

The Business Association is drawing up a blueprint that will pinpoint shops, so visitors can locate them quickly on shop locator boards.

The idea already has a proven track record in places like the Metro Centre, but so far only around one third of the 200 or so retailers in Chester-le-Street have signed up to the idea.

Anyone who wants to join the scheme has until Wednesday, November 30, to do so, by contacting Steve McCormick on 0191-387 1348.
